Currently in the process of creating the API, and I was wondering if the length of the URL affects the performance of the API?
for instance
The presence of k = instead of api_key = in the query string or the limitation of the actual api_key to X characters instead of 32 characters (for example, hash xd5).
Keep in mind that this API will be used for 4-5 medium-sized sites.
The difference in speed would be so incredibly tiny - six characters compared to one character read - that it is completely immaterial.

This will never be your bottleneck.
Do not worry about it.
