I want to create a pure rest api in yii2. I had google many keywords but haven't got any right. Please suggest me tutorial links or study material for pure rest api.
Here is a link to the documentation with an implementation suggestion for how to implement REST APIs using Yii2:

How can I make my own custom APIs like we see on newsapi.org website
I would suggest start looking into a framework. Personally I use Laravel/Lumen this would give you all the tools to emulate that API.
I am using Swagger for REST API documentation which is built using Spring Framework. I am looking for better alternatives where I don't need to define complex resources again and again in every API.
Like Google has a well-defined documentation Google Doc. What frameworks top IT companies using for it.
Well I have advised two of those companies to use OPTIONS.
OPTIONS data can be cached at runtime giving a custom APIDOC per each ROLE/AUTHORITY.
That way USER will not see ADMIN endpoints and you can create a dynamic APIDOC.
Is there any complete step-by-step guide or material available on how to use SOAP API in Play Framework with Scala?
I have seen people post about scalaxb but couldn't find any guide on how exactly to use it. Any recommendation/link/repositroy will be helpful.
P.S: I cannot use REST API because it's client's requirement to use SOAP and it CANNOT be changed. I have WSDL of the service I am supposed to interact with.
I'm new in Swagger. I have an API and I want to document it with Swagger based on model, not on annotation. Please provide some guide how can I do it? Thanks in advance! I need literature, examples, tutorial etc.
Swagger is the easiest way to create REST API documentation and the sand box for your API, You need to just follow some annotation rule defined by swagger API.
You have to learn the following thing first-
Basic REST API concepts
REST API with Play.
Look in Swagger annotations.
You can see the demo at http://petstore.swagger.io/
To understand the flow see in the following files

I'm trying to use the Swagger UI, and it says that I should begin by writing an api-doc that describes the exact api for a REST api. The problem is that I have no idea what this means. Is this document written in plain English? Or is there a certain format that will be able to generate the UI?
Thank you!
Swagger is a specification for describing REST APIs. Documentation of the specification can be found here - https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-spec.
Generally, there are two ways to document your API. If you already have an existing API with code, you can use any of the existing libraries (https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-spec#additional-libraries) to integrate into your code and generate documentation at run time. Some of those libraries also offer offline generation of such docs.
If you're looking to design an API, or would rather not integrate another library into your application, you can use https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-editor either locally or with the online version - http://editor.swagger.io.
Once you have the documentation, you can use Swagger UI to visualize and test it.
