API Access to Business Central without using Authentication or Authorization?

(1) ShareShare

Is it possible to configure API access to Business Central without requiring any form of authentication or authorization?

Previously, I followed Yun Zhu's guide, "Using OAuth to Connect Business Central APIs and Web Services in Postman", to configure API access to Business Central using OAuth 2.0. However, I am now tasked with enabling API access to Business Central without implementing any form of authentication or authorization.

I would appreciate any insights or guidance on whether this is achievable. Thank you!

    I think direct access without auth supported and  Personally I won't recommend using the API without auth or access token.

    As far as I know, there is no way.
    If it is Cloud, Basic Auth is no longer available, only OAuth can be used.
