Hiding an API Key on Weebly Server

[ChakraaThePanda]

Hello there Weebly community!

I currently own a Weebly website and on it I built a little guild Armory using Blizzard's World of Warcraft API.

My problem is: Currently, my API key is coded directly client-side, so anyone inspecting my page can just grab my API key, which is not favorable.

I need to find a way to make an AJAX request to my website's server where I could go and snatch my key. The biggest issue with this is with Weebly, you cannot just "access" your files like a normal FTP server would let you.

Is there a workaround to this?

Thank you!

I'm not sure if this would work for you, though when editing a theme you can upload files to the assets folder there.  Anything uploaded there can be accessed with this URL structure:

http://www.mysite.com/files/theme/filename.extension
