The link to the Plataformatec blog post "Custom authentication methods with Devise" in the API Mode section returns a 404. The blog has been offline since Plataformatec wound down operations.

This removes the dead link while keeping the wiki article link for Simple Token Authentication, which is still active.

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/).
