Answer 1

Create a new product and uncheck "Require subscription" in its settings. Any API added to such product will be callable without a key, i.e. anonymously.

I did not think the answer is true - but I tested it and yes, you can call APIs linked to a product where "requires subscription" is unchecked without subscription key; now after I removed the product I still can call the API w/o subscription key - let's wait, how long this persists – Wenger

I would not rely on this behavior this is a bug and will be fixed. By design APIs have to belong to an open product to be callable anonymously. Why did you remove the product? – Bird

I just wanted so see if it works - I no not want to have this behavior at all. – Wenger

@KaiWalter, Is it a bug or a feature ? :D means is it still there or not.. – Scrofula

Answer 2

if you already have an API created and binded to your product, you need to do this.

1. Remove the Subscription Required option from your product.
2. go to the APIs section, select your existing API and from the Settings tab, you can remove the checkbox "subscription Required".
