Returning different represenations of the same resource based on some condition in API

[Szymon Nowak]

Hey,

I was wondering if anybody has it all figured out :) 

Basically I need something similar that Facebook or Twitter are doing in their API - if you make an unauthorized request for a resource you get back a "public" representation of it, if you make an authorized one you get "private/full" representation. It would be awesome if it could be integrated somehow into a responder...

Cheers,

Szymon

I haven't used it, but maybe checkout the acts_as_api gem.

Thanks! Looks like it's exactly what I need.
