i want to access information without user logging in

Solution

  • Facebook

    Without login you can fetch the limited information using the username. Since for the rest you have to ask permission from the user and for that you have to implement the facebook login.

    You can use the Graph API to get the info-

    http://graph.facebook.com/username

    To get the profile picture-

    http://graph.facebook.com/username/picture


    Youtube

    You can use the Youtube API

    Similarly you can search for the other APIs..
