        'accessTokenExpire', => 3600 // lifetime of `access_token`, `0` - unlimited
        'blockedIp' => [], // array, blocked access from IP`s
        'rateLimit' => 30, // request`s to API per minute
        'rateLimitHeaders' => false, // send HTTP-headers of rate limit
        'sendAccessToken' => true, // send access token with HTTP-headers
        'authMethods' => [ // auth methods to allow
            'basicAuth' => true,
            'bearerAuth' => true,
            'paramAuth' => true
        ],
        'authMethods' => [ // allowed API modes
            'public' => true,
            'private' => true
        ],
        'allowedApiModels' => [ // allowed API models
            'public' => [
                "wdmg\api\models\api\NewsAPI" => true,
                "wdmg\api\models\api\OptionsAPI" => false,
                "wdmg\api\models\api\PagesAPI" => false,
                "wdmg\api\models\api\UsersAPI" => false,
                ...
            ],
            'private' => [
                "wdmg\api\models\api\NewsAPI" => true,
                "wdmg\api\models\api\OptionsAPI" => true,
                "wdmg\api\models\api\PagesAPI" => true,
                "wdmg\api\models\api\UsersAPI" => true,
                ...
            ],
        ]
    ],
    ...
],

Usecase

Request to API with base auth by username and password (option authMethods['basicAuth'] must be set to true):

$ curl 'http://example.com/api/users' \
-XGET \
-H 'Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01' \
-H 'Authorization: Basic YOUR_USERNAME_AND_PASSWORD'

Attention! YOUR_USERNAME_AND_PASSWORD in format username:password and has been encoded, like base64_encode('username:password') After successful authorization, the server will return X-Access-Token for use in other requests (option sendAccessToken must be set to true).

Request to API with query param access_token (option authMethods['paramAuth'] must be set to true):

$ curl 'http://example.com/api/users?access-token=YOUR_API_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
-XGET \
-H 'Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01'

Request to API with bearer access_token (option authMethods['bearerAuth'] must be set to true):

$ curl 'http://example.com/api/users' \
-XGET \
-H 'Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_ACCESS_TOKEN'

If the access token has expired, the server will return new X-Access-Token for use in other requests (option sendAccessToken must be set to true).

Routing

Admin dashboard path by default: http://example.com/admin/api/

Path for access to API endpoint: http://example.com/api/model/module/action Also see official guideline: https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/docs/guide/rest-quick-start.md

Use the Module::dashboardNavItems() method of the module to generate a navigation items list for NavBar, like this:

<?php
    echo Nav::widget([
    'options' => ['class' => 'navbar-nav navbar-right'],
        'label' => 'Modules',
        'items' => [
            Yii::$app->getModule('api')->dashboardNavItems(),
            ...
        ]
    ]);
?>
