Error: apikey argument is now required

I’m getting an error when trying to run:

I see you added an API key ~3 months ago, but that doesn’t seem to be released, at least in pip (it’s not the version I get when I pip install tvnamer).

It also seems like we maybe should have a way to define an API key in the config, so we can use our own API key and not have to rely on a centralized one.

I’ve released tvnamer 2.5.1 which should address this:

(tvntest) [dbr@slate:~]$ pip install tvnamer==2.5.0
(tvntest) [dbr@slate:~]$ touch lost.s01e01.avi
(tvntest) [dbr@slate:~]$ tvnamer lost.s01e01.avi

Being able to use your own API key is a good idea also; I’ve split that into a separate ticket #183
