For example, a Piwik API call using the 'anonymous' auth token used to work just fine in Piwik 2.3 for sites that have Anonymous Access enabled:

http://demo.piwik.org/index.php?module=API&method=API.getPiwikVersion&format=JSON&token_auth=anonymous

The demo.piwik.org site does have Anonymous Access enabled, but this API call now returns the following error:

"You must be logged in to access this functionnality."

Is it now the case that Piwik requires an authenticated user to use the REST API? As I said above, this used to work fine in Piwik 2.3, for sites with Anon Access enabled.

Thanks for report. This is by design, I've changed it here: c87a120

Other functions appart from API.getPiwikVersion should still work as expected for anonymous user.

Oh I did not see the API was changed here. This breaks Piwik Mobile 2, probably Piwik Mobile 1 as well.
