I see for blogs the application key is in the manage blogs area. How do you determine the application key for a specific bucket of the file gallery?

For example if i have a tree view that is like

bucket 1 
------ sub bucketA 
------ sub bucketB 
bucket 2
------ sub bucketC
------ sub bucketD 

and i want a list control to filter showing me only the latest files from bucket 1, how do i determine its application key? I can see that the sub buckets key is the URL name but the way file groups are created i don't see anywhere I can list the group? Thanks very much!

Groups DO NOT have application keys - only sections do.  To filter by a specific group, you will have to determine the group ID which you should be able to determine from the querystring of the group details page in the control panel.
