As I understand, API key's are typically used for thirdrd party access, but does it make sense to use one in order to verify it's my frontend talking to the API? I want to secure my API as best as it can be, so any other ideas for improving its security would be great.
Does it make sense to have an API key for accessing my API on my frontend?

An api key , with internal use have sense, out of the security scope.
Exemple : you have a web front end and an app (ios) , you could identify different type of REST client. You could add rate limitation by type of client.
First check to secure your API is probably "Do you use HTTPS" ?
