==== Anonymous contribution ====
* It is possible for new products (no anonymous modification is possible though, for obvious reasons)
* It is possible for adding images (as many as you like)
* If you detect an error 200 (wrong password), please retry the query without user_id and password. That way the contribution will be accepted. Otherwise, the photo will get lost :(

==== Global account ====
If you want to avoid coding the detection of password errors, login stuff… you can create a global account for all your users.
You can create a global account to let the users of your app contribute. please name it YourApp_app or something like that, so that we can spot them easily. Better yet, introduce yourself on Slack :-)
