Can I make my own version of this on Codepen.io or do I need to use my own server with my API key?

I want to make a variation of this app. The fastest way would be to use something like Codepen.io, but I'd like to use my own text editor locally instead. Will that require me to actually upload the files to a web server in order for it to work? Dave McFarland, if you would like to chime in on this please do!

HI Josh Hicks

Unlike most AJAX requests, JSONP requests aren't exactly true AJAX and don't require a server. You can work locally on the Flickr app.
