API configuration

General settings for API calls can be set in the ./config/api.js file:

Property	Description	Type	Default
responses	Global API response configuration	Object	-
responses.privateAttributes	Set of globally defined attributes to be treated as private.	String array	[]
rest	REST API configuration	Object	-
rest.prefix	The API prefix	String	/api
rest.defaultLimit	Default limit parameter used in API calls (see REST API documentation)	Integer	25
rest.maxLimit	Maximum allowed number that can be requested as limit (see REST API documentation).	Integer	100

✏️ Note

If the rest.maxLimit value is less than the rest.defaultLimit value, maxLimit will be the limit used.

Example:

JavaScript

./config/api.js

module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
  responses: {
    privateAttributes: ['_v', 'id', 'created_at'],
  },
  rest: {
    prefix: '/v1',
    defaultLimit: 100,
    maxLimit: 250,
  },
});

TypeScript

./config/api.ts

export default ({ env }) => ({
  responses: {
    privateAttributes: ['_v', 'id', 'created_at'],
  },
  rest: {
    prefix: '/v1',
    defaultLimit: 100,
    maxLimit: 250,
  },
});
