# DSL: Ash.Api.Dsl
Apis are the entrypoints for working with your resources.
Apis may optionally include a list of resources, in which case they can be
used as an `Ash.Registry` in various places. This is for backwards compatibility,
but if at all possible you should define an `Ash.Registry` if you are using an extension
that requires a list of resources. For example, most extensions look for two application
environment variables called `:ash_apis` and `:ash_registries` to find any potential registries
## api
General Api configuration
### Examples
```
api do
description """
Resources related to the flux capacitor.
"""
end
```
### Options
| Name | Type | Default | Docs |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `description` | `String.t` | | A description for the api. |
## resources
List the resources present in this API
* [resource](#resources-resource)
### Examples
```
resources do
resource MyApp.Tweet
resource MyApp.Comment
end
```
### Options
| Name | Type | Default | Docs |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `allow` | `mfa` | | Support a dynamic resource list by providing a callback that checks whether or not the resource should be allowed. |
| `allow_unregistered?` | `boolean` | false | Whether the Api will support only registered entries or not. |
| `registry` | `module` | | Configure a registry that contains the resources. This option is generally not necessary anymore, and remains for backwards compatibility. Instead, configure resources in this block directly. |
## resources.resource
