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!

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

Thanks.

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