Description

Many Rails apps support authentication via a per user API key. If it's not too much work, we may wish to add this as an option.

would the oauth implementation would suffice ?

Welll.. As I understand, Oauth is to allow external auth sources. (You need a third party oauth trusted authentication source, no?)

When I created this ticket, I was thinking of a native API key, that each user could generate and revoke for their own accounts, so they didn't have to bake their pw into scripts and what not... (Correct me if I am misunderstanding what you are proposing with Oauth).

The way gitlab manages it would be ideal. Example api request:

GET http://example.com/api/v2/projects?private_token=QVy1PB7sTxfy4pqfZM1U

That would list out all the projects which the user with that private token has access to.
