Read only access for user

[andreaspixsy]

As far as I understand it, you either need to get full access to a 500px users account via OAuth to access protected endpoints, or just use a consumer_key for public endpoints.

But when I don't use OAuth, how can I get the users 500px username/user_id without asking him to type it and without asking for full write access to his 500px account either?

Currently, the OAuth message is:

This application will be able to: Read data from your profile See which photos you faved, and fave new photos Update your profile Post new photos

How can we use OAuth for read-only access, so the user is not requested for unnecessary permissions?

You impossible get username/id , because you don't even know whose is obtained.
