Getting Google Analytics data without needing to login

Question

I've played around the the Analytics API and used oauth and managed to pull data from my Analytics account, this wasn't too much of a bother and worked really well.

The problem is I'm building a small "data graphing" service for me clients, this will basically feed data from Google Analytics, Telephone tracking and a few other services into a central area that'll display how many people are contacting them from their website.

The problem is that to use the Google Analytic API you need to be authenticated by oauth, this prompts the user to log into a Google account.

Is there a way in which I can get my GA data without the need to manually authenticate with oauth?
