How to retrieve catalog items and team members via API without signing in?

[agordeev]

I'm building a mobile app that will a user let to book a service (schedule an appointment). They need to view through services and team member profiles. How do I retrieve those anonymously?

team-member-booking-profiles endpoint requires an access token with APPOINTMENTS_BUSINESS_SETTINGS_READ permission. I can get that token using OAuth, but it requires signing in to Square, which is inappropriate.

Using personal access token is unsafe and discouraged. I could build a backend that can be used as a facade, but this is a huuuge overhead. Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply, Katie. I asked this question on the Square Developer Forum too. Unfortunately, my account was immediately suspended, and my post is still in the Pending state after a week of waiting. I contacted Square Support about this, but nobody has cared to provide a response to me so far.
