someone asked me to register a steam api key, scam?

Question

A guy on discord wants me to log in to a site and create a steam web api key so he can check my inventory for a trade. Feels off. What can someone do with that key?

Scam. Don't. Whoever has your API key can watch your trade offers and quietly swap them for their own, so your items go to them while the trade looks normal on your screen. No real site needs you to create one. If you already made it, revoke it on the Steam API key page now, change your password, and use Steam Guard to sign out every other device.
