How to build a REST API in Laravel 4 and add users

I am working with Laravel 4 attempting to build a REST API. I have to
create a resourceful controller, model, and associated views for managing
multiple api consumers. I want each api consumer to (at a minimum) have
attributes for api_key and shared_secret. I have been reading Jeremy
Kendall's page on Query Auth @
http://jeremykendall.net/2013/08/13/api-query-authentication-with-query-auth/.
I am getting very confused. I do not understand where everything should
go.
