How to build a REST API in Laravel 4 and add users

Question

I am working with Laravel 4 attempting to build a REST API. I have to create a resourceful controller, model, and associated views for managing multiple api consumers. I want each api consumer to (at a minimum) have attributes for api_key and shared_secret. I have been reading Jeremy Kendall's page on Query Auth @ http://jeremykendall.net/2013/08/13/api-query-authentication-with-query-auth/. I am getting very confused. I do not understand where everything should go.

Answer 1

I'd suggest you to watch the What’s New in Laravel 4 series before doing any commando action.
