Answer 1

The Products API in magento can be accessed by Guest but, this is not the case for Customers API. You have to authenticate the user as Customer or admin before you can access Customers API. To authenticate you can follow the tutorial available at Magento Oauth Authorization . The Admin authorization returns data of all the Customers and Customer authorization returns data of the customer who you authorized. For various authentications available on different types of API consumers, you can refer to Magento REST API customer resource .
