I have much nicer solution ! I try with Rack in middleware but i no find any solution in this way....

I propose you this module for override methods of ActiveReouse::Base

Add this lib in /lib/active_resource/extend/ directory don't forget uncomment
"config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/lib)" in config/application.rb

module ActiveResource #:nodoc:
  module Extend
    module AuthWithApi
      module ClassMethods
        def element_path_with_auth(*args)
          element_path_without_auth(*args).concat("?auth_token=#{self.api_key}")
        end
        def new_element_path_with_auth(*args)
          new_element_path_without_auth(*args).concat("?auth_token=#{self.api_key}")
        end
        def collection_path_with_auth(*args)
          collection_path_without_auth(*args).concat("?auth_token=#{self.api_key}")
        end
      end

      def self.included(base)
        base.class_eval do
          extend ClassMethods
          class << self
            alias_method_chain :element_path, :auth
            alias_method_chain :new_element_path, :auth
            alias_method_chain :collection_path, :auth
            attr_accessor :api_key
          end
        end
      end  
    end
  end  
end

in model

class Post < ActiveResource::Base
  include ActiveResource::Extend::AuthWithApi

  self.site = "http://application.localhost.com:3000/"
  self.format = :json

  self.api_key = 'jCxKPj8wJJdOnQJB8ERy'

  schema do
    string  :title
    string  :content
  end

end
