Hi Mimitip,

You can create new routes for a given content-type by creating a file src/api/content-type/routes/whatever-you-like.js which could have a custom route like…

"use strict";

const { createCoreRouter } = require("@strapi/strapi").factories;

module.exports = {
  routes: [
    {
      method: "GET",
      path: "/content-type/custom-endpoint
      handler: "content-type.customendpoint",
    },
  ],
};

Which you can configure in the file /src/api/content-type/routes/content-type.js…

"use strict";

const { createCoreRouter } = require("@strapi/strapi").factories;

module.exports = createCoreRouter("api::restaurant.restaurant", {
  //https://docs.strapi.io/developer-docs/latest/development/backend-customization/routes.html#configuring-core-routers
  config: {

    customendpoint: {
      // policies etc
    }
  },
});

And finally you can implement the controller for it in file src/api/content-type/controllers/whateveryoulike.js maybe like…

"use strict";

const { coreStoreModel } = require("@strapi/strapi/lib/services/core-store");

const { createCoreController } = require("@strapi/strapi").factories;

module.exports = createCoreController("api::restaurant.restaurant", ({ strapi }) => ({
  async customendpoint(ctx) {
    return await strapi.entityService.findMany("api::restaurants.restaurant");
  }
}));

Hope that helps.
