How to add a custom api?

[MamonovaMaria]

Hi!

When I add a custom api (example to the dashboard class to superset\dashboards\api.py) and then write it to superset\constants.py in MODEL_VIEW_RW_METHOD_PERMISSION_MAP, I get a 404 error when accessing it.

What needs to be done in order for my custom api to be noticed by the superset?

you need to "register" it. see

superset/superset/initialization/__init__.py

Line 206 in 4beaa81

appbuilder.add_api(DashboardRestApi)

How to register it if I cannot access the init.py file. Like in my case I am deploying superset using Docker. So the packages will be fetched when building the image. One thing that I can think of is to register my API in the superset_config.py. But I am not sure if it is possible. Please suggest some other way where we don't need to change the files that come with the installtion.

@raaahuuulll I want to do the same where I define the custom api in the config file and use it. But I am unable to do so. Any pointers?
