TO do this in a proper way, you have to declare you api class as a service & use dependancy injection to inject your parameters :

parameters:
    your_api.class:      Acme\HelloBundle\Lib\YourApiClass
    your_api.key:        "key value for your api"
    your_api.token:      "token value for your api"

services:
   yourApiService:
       class:        "%your_api.class%"
       arguments:    ["%your_api.key%", "%your_api.token%"]

And in your controller & many other places you'll have access like that :

$api = $this->get('yourApiService');

you can use it as a service: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/service_container.html when i try to implement an extern api, i think about adapter pattern: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adapter_pattern
