[Flask] Flask restless authentication

[jb at pysecure.io]

Hi,
I'm evaluating different REST API plugins for Flask, since I need only 
very simple access to models created with SQLAlchemy I am thinking about 
flask restless, however it seems it does not provide authentication 
out-of-the-box which is also my requirement. Flask restful seems to be 
an overhead for the task but it seems to mee from my short research that 
authentication support is better. It seems there is a project at 
https://github.com/graup/flask-restless-security solving my problem with 
flask restless but I dislike idea of having another dependency in the 
project. It also may not be under active development which doesn't help 
either.

So I have 2 questions:

1. can anyone point me into some good practices or example code for 
providing authentication in case of flask restless?
2. can anyone share their experience with flask restless or flask 
restful (or any other option I am not considering due to lack of my 
knowledge) and implementation of authentication functionality for the 
API?

Have a great weekend everybody
JB
