How to pass the api client credentials for stackexchange api in python

Question

I am trying to make a console based client, that consumes the stackexchange api. I have done the registration of my app, in order to enjoy higher quotas and received the necessary keys.

My problem is, that I cannot find a page that describes how the app is supposed to pass those credentials. I am using python, if it matters. Could you please shed some light?

The question a bit fuzzy. Do you just want to enjoy a higher quota? If so, merely include the key in each API request. Or do you want the app to be able to vote, write posts, access the user's inbox, etc? (All require authentication, while a key does not.) — Brock Adams, Jan 03 '18 at 22:06

As BrockAdams mentioned, this can be achieved by passing the key to all the sent requests.
