highlyviewedposts anonymous access? and feed retrieve anonymous access?

Ariel — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 09:11:58 GMT

Hello.
Is there any reason to restrict the access of http://services.newsgator.com/ngws/svc/PostItem.aspx/highlyviewedposts using the user/pass?
Can that method has anonymous access?
I want to show the “highlyviewedposts” for “today” (is a feature of the web app I’m working on), can I show that to any users without asking them to log in? maybe I can use my own server and use my own credentials to get the REST call, and then show the results. Is that ok? (then if the user wants, for example, to mark a post as read, s/he will need to log in to NG)

And, is there any way to access the content of a feed without logging in? for example Google has the Feed API (I could use the Google API if the user is not logged in on Newsgator, but I would like to use a NG API if is possible), then when the user logs in I continue using the NG API.

Thanks!,
Ariel
