Can i disable API pages and features without break extensions?

HasanMerkit

I want to disable /api links and features for using my own "api" folder. So thats can break extensions?

HasanMerkit this is very tricky.

You can edit the name of the api endpoint in config.php and I think Flarum and most extensions should automatically use the new name.

However removing any specific route from the API will probably break the forum, since generally all routes added by extensions are used by the frontend.

Is there any reason you can't call your own endpoints with a different name or on a different subdomain?

clarkwinkelmann i make my own PHP script with Flarum support. I already used /api page.

HasanMerkit Flarum is a SPA, a single page application. This means it will build the HTML you see using Javascript, from then on most interactions you have with the forum is using the API. You can try the suggestion by clarkwinkelmann to rename Flarum's API endpoint to something else. If that breaks things, then I don't think using the same path on your domain is wise for other things.
