@Sdadad so far is the same engine, just light weight body for API version without views/assets. print middleware list rake middleware — 7urkm3n

In order to make existing action or new action into API action which can be used from your API app you just need to write following code in the action for JSON request(AJAX or API call) render json: @user or can use JSON builder gem which is good option to create specific json for your specific need.

You can handle HTML(Browser) or JSON(API) request using respons_to method of Rails
