Sorry, I didn't realize you were talking about from within your module.  If
you have the user DAO, and want to know that user's default API key, you
would do the following:

$user = $this->userSession->Dao;  // get the DAO from the current session
user
$modelLoader = new MIDAS_ModelLoader(); //instantiate the model loader
object
$userApiModel = $modelLoader->loadModel('Userapi', 'api'); //load the model
for the user api keys
$defaultApiKey = $userApiModel->getByAppAndUser('Default', $user);
//retrieve the default api key for the current user

Hope this helps,

-Zach
