I am use api-auth gem for client app auth, but in system have user, user need to login and query my profile. So I want to integrate with OAuth, do you have any solution? Thanks!

If your client application will be connecting to your server using individual user credentials, then you should probably just use OAuth.

This gem is meant for those cases where services or developers talk to other services. AWS products, for example, all use HMAC like api_auth whereas end user services like Facebook or Twitter use OAuth.
