API key without a managed package

I'm developing an integration that needs to make use of the Force.com API. It's my understanding that to execute the API in professional edition, I need an API key. Is it possible to get an API key for just a public AppExchange listing that doesn't have a Salesforce managed package associated with it? If so, how?

 

Thanks

Ah, got it. Please log a case through the partner portal (www.salesforce.com/partnerportal) and see if you can request the Partner API token for your integration app.

I believe that requires a managed package. Can I ask why you aren't using a managed package to distribute your app?

The app only interacts with Salesforce via the API. Therefore, there's no compelling reason to have a package.
