Currently all post requests require authorization.  We could allow post
requests, that are search queries, but more likely we should sort out the
bug in that thread.

The other option is to use the elastic search q param eg.

http://thedatahub.org/en/api/data/075de5b0-19ba-45fb-bfaa-603a78c47d45/_search?pretty=true&q=*

It is much less flexible that the full query json (i.e no faceting) but
should be good for most simple needs.
