Got some answers from Uphold side about a verification path from the reserve chain endpoints. Our project won't pursue this path, but leaving response here in case anyone is wondering.

Q: Is there a way to read this information outside of the Uphold authentication? For example, directly on the Reserve Chain using some associated public key (without Uphold login)?

A: No, you can only access the reserve chain endpoints (uphold.com/en/developer/api/docume...) with authentication.

Q: If I need to use Upholdโ€™s API, as I need to read account information on behalf of other Uphold account holders, do I need to register a Business Account and set up each account with the Client Credentials Flow? Under this auth flow, are we expected to read only the account that belongs to us, or can request for other accountโ€™s read-only tokens and read data on their behalf? uphold.com/en/developer/api/docume...

A: If you need to read account information on behalf of other uphold account holders you need to have a business account.
