Hello, is it possible to expose a salesforce api over http without requiring the user to first login?  I have some salesforce data that I would like to expose to external customers through a salesforce REST api but I don't need them to create salesforce accounts to access this data by logging in first.  

Right now all of the documentation that I have found requires the end user to login to generate an authorization token, which in my case and with the data I would like to expose is not needed and an extra burden on the end user.

Maybe I am looking at this all wrong but some help or guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you.
