Creating an API

[eluser]dmorin[/eluser]
Also, for anyone who may come across this later, I am using the following route to pull off the fake filetype and pass it to the controller method as an argument:

Code:

$route['^api\/([a-zA-Z_]+)\/([a-zA-Z_]+)\.?([a-zA-z]{3,4})?'] = "api/$1/$2/$3";

I have a folder called API within the controllers folder. Then every API request will have the controller ($1), method ($2), and optional format ($3).

If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve this, I would love to hear it. Thanks.
