REST API: User not logged in

Hello,

I am trying to do rest calls via a plugin, but I keep getting the following error:

An error occurred: Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user.

When I debug, I notice that the get_current_user_id() is returning 0 in my function. Here is a snippet of the code I am trying to execute:

add_action( 'rest_api_init', function () {
    // Cart an item
    register_rest_route( 'screen/v1', '/cart', array(
        'methods' => 'GET',
        'callback' => 'screen_cart',
    ) );

} );

// Code to check the user id on init, which is returning the correct user ID
//add_action('init', 'screen_getUserId');
//$screen_userId = 0;
//
//function screen_getUserId(){
//    global $screen_userId;
//    $screen_userId = get_current_user_id();
//    echo get_current_user_id();
//}

function screen_cart($request) {
//    global $screen_userId;

// However here it is returning 0 (meaning no one is logged in)
   return die(print_r(get_current_user_id(), true));

    $cart = get_data_via_rest('/wp/v2/cart', 'POST', [
        'cart_user' => get_current_user_id(),
    ]);

    return $cart;
}

This is currently just a test app (prototype), is there a way I can make it so no authentication is required during development?
