API (with unique private keys and stuff) of a rails app.

Can you rephrase the question? I’m guessing one of the reasons you’ve
received no replies is that it’s not at all clear what you’re really
looking for.
If you’re simply looking to get started with Rails, there are many
good replies in the archives of this list.

But an API of a Rails app, with or without unique private keys and
stuff, doesn’t really make sense to me.

I have build an app. I just want to create an for basic CRUD operations
so that external apps can communicate with it.

Like Twitter API you can use to update your status and stuff.
