Can you share via Facebook WITHOUT API or secret key?

OK, I've been using the help/search feature in the forums to research this, and I see topics about how to retrieve your API and secret key, but I don't really understand this question. What do you need the API and secret key for? If I create a share via Facebook screen, and leave it on the default, what will happen? Will the URL to the app in the app store not be shown or something?

Hi Daniel, If you use the default API and Secret Key your messages on Facebook will all say something like, 'Powered by buzztouch' down below the post. You'll want to create your own API and key so when your app users share on facebook with your app, it credits your app/company and not us.

Got it. I can do that, no problem! One follow up question though - do those of you who are doing this create a Facebook app and get a unique APR and key for each app, or do you have one for you as a developer? I guess the way that would drive it the best would be to have a unique Facebook app and key for each of your buzztouch apps, that way when someone clicks share, it will share the link/text for that specific app. Man, I love Buzztouch!!!! :)
