I need to implement an API for my web app but i had some questions before
diving into the code for it. I was hoping to get some help from you
experience individuals and rails rock stars.
1. Is there a way to add authentication/login so api methods cant execute
without proper credentials? Mainly, I want to be able to track activity
from different people using the api and also want to keep out scriptors that
might add bad content through my api. I think basecamp api has this, but
i''m not sure how to implement.
2. I have not yet updated to Rails 1.1 yet (i will soon), but does this
change anything in regards to whether or not to use AWS? I saw Jamis''s
article on respond_to stuff but i wasnt sure how it would work with an api
call.
3. I read the manual on ror.com about aws. however i''m having trouble
deciding which dispatching approach to use. I want to use the one that
fastest to implement but is also most flexible to soap, xmpl-rpc, rest
clients.
Any help and insights would be greatly appreciated.
