Methods Available to Communities Guest Users

If your community allows access without logging in, guest users have access to many Chatter in Apex methods. These methods return information the guest user has access to.

If your community allows access without logging in, all overloads of these methods are available to guest users.

If an overload of a method listed here indicates that Chatter is required, you must also select Give access to public API requests on Chatter in your community preferences to make the method available to guest users. If this option isn’t selected, data retrieved by methods that require Chatter doesn’t load correctly on public community pages.
