Was wondering if anyone knows here if the API at api.wordpress.org is free to use without keys. I haven’t really found any information about key registration.
I’d like to use it to make a few requests a day, really not many < 50 requests.
What’s the official way to go about consuming that API?
Thanks!

So far as I know, it’s available to use. Your site already hits it a few times each day for plugin updates, theme updates, etc.
It’s not really well-documented, though … so when you start building your code, please document what calls you’re using and how you’re using them in the Codex so everyone else can benefit.
