authlogic

I have authlogic going on my app, but now I need to have an an API. I don't want to establish a session, just want a user to send in data in a json request such as: {"type":"address","password":"mypassword","name":"my notificaiton name goes here","user":"myusername","text":"my interesting stuff goes here"} So questions - 1) is this a decent approach? 2) how do i do the auth inside my rails controller?
