(Update: I've packaged this gist into a gem to make its use easier, see: https://github.com/gonzalo-bulnes/simple_token_authentication.) Add token authentication to your Rails API. Follows the José Valim recomendations and is fully compatible with Devise (tokens are created the first time users sign in). See https://gist.github.com/josevalim/fb7…
