As I've said (repeatedly!) there's no authentication around any of
Linked Data. That might be an option for publishers in future, but not
during the beta and not for any of the open datasets which we've
published currently.

API keys are only required for the APIs, e.g. SPARQL, search, etc. The
choice of authentication options will increase in future.

So I encourage you to actually go and have a look. There's a direct
link to the Linked Data views from every homepage.

Here's a pointer to the blog post I wrote and circulated after our
last discussion:
