Can an instance close the API or limit it?
In theory, yes, but instances don't ship with the ability to do that. There would need to be a change to the Lemmy code base if such a thing was to be seriously implemented.
I'm no federation expert, so I can't really comment on whether doing something like requiring API keys would be feasible, unfortunately.
