WARNING: Can't verify CSRF token authenticity in case of API development
api, csrf, ruby, ruby-on-rails-3, token
Solution
You can do this by adding
skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token
to your controller. This way all incoming requests to the controller skips the :verify_authenticity_token filter.
Problem
I am right now developing web APIs with Ruby on Rails. When the Rails app receives POST request without any csrf token, the following error message shall happen. Because the app has no views. ``` WARNING: Can't verify CSRF token authenticity ``` So my question is how can I escape csrf token check safely in this case? Thank you very much in advance.
