How to authenticate Oauth with REST implementations

I have the following scenario,

I have a Rails app for developers that authenticates with devise. The app also responds like a rest API i.e.

/photos.json  # brings all photos from the logged user.

My question is how can I implement in this case a 2-legged OAuth restful strategy between the user and the app while keeping the devise as main authentication method. I'm a little lost here.

I'm aware there's token_authenticatable in Devise but somehow I think that authenticating only with a simple token is not secure enough?.
