Is it possible to access data in real-time using the Stack Exchange API?

Is it okay to just send the API key (without implementing oauth-2 login)?
Yes, it is perfectly okay. You only need an access_token (OAuth/login) if you are trying to change data, or are accessing private information for a logged-in user.

Get a great many counts of questions, by select tags for a date range?
