This function get_api_key makes a GET request to an API endpoint from a specified user, and returns their api key. It assumes that the API response is in JSON format and that the response contains a key called api_key.

The function uses the webread function from the MATLAB Web Services toolbox to perform the GET request, and the weboptions function to specify the request method and timeout limit.

To use this function, simply call get_api_key, and it will return the api key for the specified user.
