    LocalizeSpriteEvent localizeSpriteEvent = GetComponent<LocalizeSpriteEvent>();
    string key = localizeSpriteEvent.AssetReference.TableEntryReference.Key;

    This key will be empty.
    How can I get the key?

    The asset reference can either be a Key or KeyId. If it's the Id then you can fetch the entry Which contains everything.
    LocalizationSettings.StringDatabase.GetTableEntry(localizeSpriteEvent.AssetReference.TableReference, localizespriteevent.assetreference.tableentryreference)

    In my case, I have a LocalizedString called nameID which works properly when calling nameID.GetLocalizedString(). However, if I access nameID.TableEntryReference it returns an empty string. Why?

    I really need to get the entry id string, not the translated value.

    Ok, I solved it by using nameID.TableEntryReference.ResolveKeyName
