Could someone let me know how I add a API key to QGIS 2.14.10. The diagonal API key required is still on my map layer. Bit of a novice on QGIS.

Why do you want to use WMTS? The GBIF website is based on Leaflet. The built-in tiles layer are not using WMTS grid at all but the OSM default grid.
Normally with both OpenLayers 2 and 3, you just have to change the URL parameters when tiles are base_url/z/x/y.png but the GBIF url do not work the usual way: it requires more changes as the url uses additional parameters.
For OpenLayers 2
Use the code below
var params = ['SP_1900_1910','OBS_1900_1910','OTH_1900_1910','SP_1910_1920',
'OBS_1910_1920','OTH_1910_1920','SP_1920_1930','OBS_1920_1930',
'OTH_1920_1930','SP_1930_1940','OBS_1930_1940','OTH_1930_1940',
'SP_1940_1950','OBS_1940_1950','OTH_1940_1950','SP_1950_1960',
'OBS_1950_1960','OTH_1950_1960','SP_1960_1970','OBS_1960_1970',
'OTH_1960_1970','SP_1970_1980','OBS_1970_1980','OTH_1970_1980',
'SP_1980_1990','OBS_1980_1990','OTH_1980_1990','SP_1990_2000',
'OBS_1990_2000','OTH_1990_2000','SP_2000_2010','OBS_2000_2010',
'OTH_2000_2010','SP_2010_2020','OBS_2010_2020','OTH_2010_2020',
'SP_NO_YEAR','OBS_NO_YEAR','OTH_NO_YEAR','LIVING',
'FOSSIL','SP_PRE_1900','OBS_PRE_1900','OTH_PRE_1900'];
var countries = ['ML'];
var getMyTileUrl = function getMyTileUrl(options) {
var options = options;
return function(bounds) {
var res = this.map.getResolution();
var x = Math.round ((bounds.left - this.maxExtent.left) / (res * this.tileSize.w));
var y = Math.round ((this.maxExtent.top - bounds.top) / (res * this.tileSize.h));
var z = this.map.getZoom();
var country_params = options.countries.map(function(el) {
return 'key='+ el;
})
var layer_params options.layers.map(function(el) {
return 'layer='+ el;
})
return this.url + '?' + 'x=' + x + '&y=' + y + '&z=' + z + '&' +
'type=COUNTRY' + '&' + country_params.join('&') + '&' +
layer_params.join('&')+ '&palette=yellows_reds';
}
}
var layerGBIF = new OpenLayers.Layer.XYZ("GBIF",
'http://api.gbif.org/v1/map/density/tile',
{
name: 'layer name',
sphericalMercator: true,
getURL: getMyTileUrl({layers: params, countries: countries}),
type: 'png',
isBaseLayer: false,
transitionEffect: 'resize',
buffer: 3
});
map.addLayer(layerGBIF);
See a working demo. (Added by editing)
To change parameters in URL, just do in the browser debugger console:
layerGBIF.getURL = getMyTileUrl({layers: ['OTH_1990_2000', 'OTH_2000_2010'], countries: ['ML']});
layerGBIF.redraw();
For OpenLayers 3 (it was my first answer...)
You can use the following. I use some parameters so it's possible to change layers or countries instead of only relying on x, y, z
var params = ['SP_1900_1910','OBS_1900_1910','OTH_1900_1910','SP_1910_1920',
'OBS_1910_1920','OTH_1910_1920','SP_1920_1930','OBS_1920_1930',
'OTH_1920_1930','SP_1930_1940','OBS_1930_1940','OTH_1930_1940',
'SP_1940_1950','OBS_1940_1950','OTH_1940_1950','SP_1950_1960',
'OBS_1950_1960','OTH_1950_1960','SP_1960_1970','OBS_1960_1970',
'OTH_1960_1970','SP_1970_1980','OBS_1970_1980','OTH_1970_1980',
'SP_1980_1990','OBS_1980_1990','OTH_1980_1990','SP_1990_2000',
'OBS_1990_2000','OTH_1990_2000','SP_2000_2010','OBS_2000_2010',
'OTH_2000_2010','SP_2010_2020','OBS_2010_2020','OTH_2010_2020',
'SP_NO_YEAR','OBS_NO_YEAR','OTH_NO_YEAR','LIVING',
'FOSSIL','SP_PRE_1900','OBS_PRE_1900','OTH_PRE_1900'];
var setTileUrlFunction = function setTileUrlFunction(options) {
var options = options;
return function setTileUrlFunction(tileCoord, pixelRatio, projection) {
if(tileCoord == null) {
return "";
}
var layerParams = options.layers.map(function(el) {
return 'layer=' + el;
})
var layerCountries = options.countries.map(function(el) {
return 'key=' + el;
})
return 'http://api.gbif.org/v1/map/density/tile?' +
'x=' + tileCoord[1] + '&' +
'y=' + tileCoord[2] + '&' +
'z=' + tileCoord[0] + '&' +
'type=COUNTRY' + '&' +
layerCountries.join('&') + '&' +
layerParams.join('&') + '&' +
'palette=yellows_reds';
}
}
var layer = new ol.layer.Tile({
name: 'TMS',
source: new ol.source.XYZ({
tileUrlFunction: setTileUrlFunction({layers: params, countries: ['ML']})
})
})
With this, you can later in the console do something like layer.getSource().setTileUrlFunction(setTileUrlFunction({layers: ['OTH_1990_2000', 'OTH_2000_2010'], countries: ['ML']})) to change your tiles.
In the comments of the source code you linked there is an explanation:
@param key To access the openstreetmap API you need a valid API key. You can get it for free at https://developer.mapquest.com

I guess you are using the QOSM plugin to display the OpenCycleMap, since the standard OSM map does not have API keys.
You can obtain an API key from the map producer Thunderforest. They provide details here, including a sample tile request URL. You can add that to the properties of the QOSM layer, inserting the line
and clicking on
Add Custom Type. Take care of the grammar for the variables that differs from the linked site.UPDATE
Alternatively, you can use the QuickMapServices plugin, go to
Settings,Add/Edit/Remove,My services, upper right icon (Create service from existing) , selectOSM TF Landscape, go to theTMSpanel, and edit the URL as above.
