Hi, I would like to create some weekly statistic reports using the REST API. I will be doing this for  
forum linkingyourthinking com

but I would like to start early before I have gotten the keys from the administrator which might take a while, since they are in the middle of a 6 week workshop.

So I was hoping to begin right now with [try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org), Is that possible? I have tried  
`curl -X GET https://try.discourse.org/site.json`  
and it works nicely.
