Mech

I see him behind my lids in a bright grey shirt
I see him tripping running and falling, covered in dirt
I see a lot of these things lately I know
I know none of it is real

Some users might want to make anonymous requests, because of privacy or any number of other reasons. This module allows people to do that. Most API these days only offically support authenticated access. This is useful for the company providing the API, as they can use the data for their own purposes (analytics etc). However authentication really doesnt do anything for the end user. Its just a pointless burden to getting the information you need for a program you may be writing. Consider that in many cases, the same information is available via HTML on the primary website, usually without being logged in. So why can you do that with HTML, but not with the API? Well you can, using this module.
