const App = () => {

  useEffect(() => {

    // First request
    fetch('/api/apiUrlPath?apple=hello')

    // Second request
    fetch('/api/apiUrlPath/world')

    // Third request
    fetch('/api/apiUrlPath', {
      method: 'post',
      body: JSON.stringify({
        banana: 'long'
      })
    })

  }, [])

  return (
    <div>hello world</div>
  )
}

export default App

Server

// /pages/api/[...slug].js (or /src/pages/api/[...slug].js)
import NextApiRouter from 'next-api-router'

export default (req, res) => {
  const Router = new NextApiRouter(req, res)

  Router
    // First response processing
    .get('/apiUrlPath', (req, res) => {
      const { apple } = req.query

      console.log(apple)
      // hello

      res.status(200).send(true)
    })

    // Second response processing
    .get('/apiUrlPath/:orange', (req, res) => {
      const { orange } = req.query

      console.log(orange)
      // world

      res.status(200).send(true)
    })

    // Third response processing
    .post('/apiUrlPath', (req, res) => {
      const { banana } = JSON.parse(req.body)

      console.log(banana)
      // long

      res.status(200).send(true)
    })

  return Router.routes()
}

Other

• The first /api path can be omitted

// /pages/api/[...slug].js (or /src/pages/api/[...slug].js)
...

  const Router = new NextApiRouter(req, res)

  Router.get('/api/apiUrlPath', (req, res) => { ... })

...

// /pages/api/[...slug].js (or /src/pages/api/[...slug].js)
...

  const Router = new NextApiRouter(req, res)

  Router.get('/apiUrlPath', (req, res) => { ... })

...

These two are the same

• 'slug' cannot be used as a key for query string.

// /pages/api/[...slug].js (or /src/pages/api/[...slug].js)
...

  const Router = new NextApiRouter(req, res)

  Router.get('/api/apiUrlPath/:slug', (req, res) => { ... })
  // error
...
