I very much doubt that, routing the requests through a global server which then handles the requests it the only way to go. Nobody is that stupid that they directly allow access through an API key included in the game itself.
You wanna see the amount of slop that comes with vibe coding. I have seen endpoints not doing basic validation if a user has access to a specific resource to every secret in an project being committed to a public repository. Using chatGPT doesn't make you a programmer and it shows whenever you see the code quality from vibe coders
