We are providing a number of API's so that we can integrate with other services as easy as possible.

To try this out I initially set up a simple API based on a list of contacts. I end up with two simple (GET) URL's such as the following, both work as expected:

1. ./ClientPortal/rest/v1/contacts/

2. ../ClientPortal/rest/v1/contacts/{email}

The base URL = /ClientPortal/rest/v1

What I'd like to know is if I can adapt the base URL in any way? From what I've read the "rest" part has to remain and the other two are dependent on the module name  (ClientPortal) and  the version number (v1).

For example could I have something like = /api/v1 which maps to /ClientPortal/rest/v1?

I see there is a possibility to use SEO Friendly URLs, would that work in this respect? If so are there any downsides to this?

I also tried setting up a reverse proxy using NGINX and re-writing URL's but haven't got it working yet. The errors usually to do with swagger libs not being found properly when accessing the swagger documentation page.

Are there perhaps other approaches or ideas to get this working?
