I made this php router, that parses urls in the index.php and calls certain functions. However my when my frontend hits the api, the api block returns the html that the / is supposed to return, its simply falling back.

location /api/  {
    try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;

    # Handle PHP files
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.3-fpm.sock;  # Adjust PHP version
    fastcgi_index index.php;
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /var/www/crumbsnet/api;
    fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $1;
    include fastcgi_params;
    # CORS headers
    add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*' always;
    add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE' always;
    add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'Content-Type, Authorization, X-Requested-With' always;

        # Handle preflight requests
    if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {
        add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
        add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE';
        add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'Content-Type, Authorization, X-Requested-With';
        add_header 'Access-Control-Max-Age' 1728000;
        add_header 'Content-Type' 'text/plain; charset=utf-8';
        add_header 'Content-Length' 0;
        return 204;
    }
}

This is the nginx config block responsible for the api. And here is the api repo if needed

If there is a specific problem with this php router, why hide the relevant lines of code from the question? Off-site resources are commonly off-topic on SO as the questions cannot stand for itself. — hakre

location ^~ /api {
    alias 'path_to_backend';
    index index.php
    try_files $uri /index.php$is_args$args;
    # etc.

I didn't quite understand the essence of your problem, but apparently you can't follow the path. domain.com/api/**** and you refuse to domain.com try this implementation, it worked for me.

rtrim($viewPath, '/') . '/'; // Ensure trailing slash <--- Have you tried rtrim on the /?

Also, do you have a .htaccess file that could be overwriting what your code is trying to accomplish?
