Use viewer_user system for unauthenticated api use #22

Closed Noah-Huppert closed 9 years ago

Noah-Huppert commented 9 years ago

The api is designed such that every request requires an access_token . However, if a user is not logged in(or doesn't have an account) they will not have an access_token .

This creates a problem because the frontend relies on the api to fetch the website content. To get around this problem a user with a publicly known access token must be created.

On the client side if the user is not authenticated the client will use a publicly known access_token.
