Hi,

In that case you have to create a custom API page and publish that page, see the below link it will help you.

You find the source code for the standard API's here

github.com/.../pages

Then you can take a copy of the API you want to modify so you do not have to start from scratch.

Hi, I think it depends on what you need to deal with, if your open and close is just a field, it should be fine to use this API directly.
If this has special handling, you may need to use bound action.

More details:

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
