No, you cant access products json without using api-key or permanent token of the store.
But still you want to access the product details you atleast needs the handler of the product.
Lets say your store is “abc.myshopify.com” and handler of your product is “xyz”, then you can product json of xyz by HTTP GET call in following url
https://www.abc.myshopify.com/products/xyz.json
in general
You could try using the Shopify StoreFront API.
It allows to get information of your shop from from your own website or custom app. Although it doesn’t need a API Password, it needs a Api Key that doesn’t need to be a secret.
The documentation says this (the first point is the important):
There is no way shopify will provide store details (product list) without api authentication.
For your requirement, I would suggest to create a shopify app which will sync all product details to your storage and you can access data from there.
