Well, I'm afraid I don't have good news for you. In order to do what you're wanting to do, you do indeed have to be authenticated/logged in to Google. Unfortunately, that's not possible with the Feeds API. As you suspected, just because you're using JavaScript to access the API doesn't mean you will just authenticate. In fact, the JS component of the Feeds API is just a wrapper which communicates with a script on Google's servers, which pulls a cached version of the feed you're looking for. This cached version was crawled by Google's servers. So it doesn't have access to your cookies or credentials as a request from your browser would. Even worse, there is no direct Google Bookmarks API, so I really don't know what to recommend as a workaround.
