Anonymous REST Requests

Some resources can be accessed anonymously. No authentication is required to make an anonymous request. For example, the public data in a user's profile can be accessed by anyone.

Example

If the URL of the API was gpapi.gopets.net, then you could get the same result XML by typing http://api.gopets.net/User/Profile?UserID=jpearce in a browser.
