I've been developing gaming site and planning to add an API to let developers create games for the site. The only problem is how do you create an API more specifically a REST API in PHP or any other language that could develop APIs?
Sorry, just new in API Development.
Any help is appreciated.

Steps to create REST API:Create a database and DB table. Establish database connection. Create a REST API file. Create index or HTML file.
There are many PHP Frameworks that can be used to create REST APIs. Besides what I've mentioned above, there are several other popular PHP frameworks. Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, Yii, CakePHP, and others can all create REST APIs. Depending on your needs, anyone of those frameworks may be best for you.
Rest API is an API that allows programmers to send and receive information from other programs using HTTP protocol commands such as GET and POST. Although REST API works with most protocols, it is specially designed for transmitting data through the HTTP protocol.
You may create a new session using either the user's ID or the username by specifying id or username in the user JSON object in the request body. Creating a new session will send a push notification to the user's device informing them of a pending authentication request.
It's pretty easy when you understand the fundamentals. Basically you want controllers mapped to actions that modify data, whether that data's in a database, XML file, CSV file, text file depends on your models.
I created a simple API framework starter that you can take a look at and get started with: https://github.com/martinbean/api-framework
