This restriction does not limit you from implementing custom warden strategies, either in your application or via gem-based extensions for devise.
A common authentication strategy for APIs is token-based authentication. For more information on extending devise to support this type of authentication and others, see the wiki article for [Simple Token Authentication Examples and alternatives](https://github.com/heartcombo/devise/wiki/How-To:-Simple-Token-Authentication-Example#alternatives) or this blog post on [Custom authentication methods with Devise](http://blog.plataformatec.com.br/2019/01/custom-authentication-methods-with-devise/).

You're absolutely right, I apologize for the mistake. When I checked it with curl, it returned a 404 at the time, but the link is clearly alive. I should have verified more carefully.

Closing this — sorry for the noise!
