 * As somebody who is fairly new to all this, I love your plugin.
    I was reading
   the very last part on [this](https://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=96) page.
 * My question is if it is possible to have a page return the json without being
   logged in. So anyone could do it. If im reading that page right you have to encode
   everything in the url so also username and password. But is there a way any visitor
   can do it?
 * I’m asking because i have a unique identifier and a link in a database. I want
   to have the search parameter in the url and then return the link in json format
   based on the request.
 * I hope it is clear what i mean. I would really appreciate if somebody can tell
   to me if this is possible.

 * You can open up the [security settings](https://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=625),
   so that users don’t have to authenticate. Just understand that all data is readable
   by someone creating the right URL.
