add method on Login REST API

[gerald_cruz1]

Hi,

is it possible to override the rest api for login?
/rest/V1/integration/customer/token

What im planning to do is, add another function that will populate a custom column on customer_entity with a random generated string.

so I was wondering if it is possible to override the login rest api file.

Thanks!

Yes, It is possible to override API:

you need to change API interface for that.

`webapi.xml`

<route url="/V1/integration/customer/token" method="POST">
    <service class="yourVendor\yourModule\Api\CustomerTokenServiceInterface" method="createCustomerAccessToken"/>
    <resources>
        <resource ref="anonymous"/>
    </resources>
</route>

You can write your own logic into model file which implements `CustomerTokenServiceInterface`. but you have to override all private functions.

Hi @gerald_cruz1 

If you want to override vendor/magento/module-integration/Model/CustomerTokenService.php file, so yes you can override it and add the code for setting some specific column value in customer_entity table.
But you cant change response param just by overriding the file.
