nginx magento configuration for API Calls

nginx.conf

  location /api {
    rewrite ^/api/rest /api.php?type=rest last;
    rewrite ^/api/v2_soap /api.php?type=v2_soap last;
    rewrite ^/api/soap /api.php?type=soap last;
  }

Works for you?
/api/rest - is ok.
soap and v2_soap - not ok.

api/v2_soap" failed (2: No such file or directory)

Soap v1 and v2 not working. I've used Magento 1.9.0.1.

I've updated this gist

Thanks for the gist. Not much documentation on this, I am afraid.

On Byte Hypernode, which is also nginx, the above code downloads the file api.php. So it seems the path is somehow not processed by the PHP interpreter.

Do you happen to have any experience with that? Or a suggestion as to what is happening?

EDIT
Found the answer. Byte Hypernode is running on a php/fpm nginx configuration. You'd need this:

location /api {
   rewrite ^/api/rest /api.php?type=rest last;
   rewrite ^/api/v2_soap /api.php?type=v2_soap last;
   rewrite ^/api/soap /api.php?type=soap last;

   location ~ \.php$ {
       echo_exec @phpfpm;
   }
}

The xmlrpc support need to be added
rewrite ^/api/xmlrpc /api.php?type=xmlrpc last;

Thank you. This worked great for me.

In one:

  location /api {
    rewrite ^/api/(\w+).*$ /api.php?type=$1 last;
  }
