Well, I'm not a Sinatra experienced user but these two methods would be shared across all APIs because they all open SmartProxy class. Not sure how to handle this best, maybe @domcleal or @GregSutcliffe will know. I think the problem is to share SmartProxy class for all *_api.rb. So if there's no better way I'd prefer to move those methods to separate class. Especially ```authenticated``` name can result in conflict.
