yii2 creating custom based Rest API

I am creating my own custom based action for some calculation, which has to be send by restful api in json. The problem is when i create the controller inherited from activecontroller, then for the index action it asks a model class.

I must need to use index action with my own custom based calculation which does not need to be store in the database so i actually do not need to create model class at all. This is first time i am using activecontroller so i am not sure how to make the index page act as according to my needs.

I am able to create my own custom based action with any name i want e.g. 

 public function actionFast()
    {
        echo "XXX";
    }

and inside the config/ web.php 

'urlManager' => [
            'showScriptName' => false,
            'enablePrettyUrl' => true
            ,
            'rules' => [
                ['class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule', 'controller' => ['Apprest/Fast'], 'extraPatterns' => ['GET dast' => 'fast']],
            ],
        ],

but instead of my custom "Fast" action i need to use index action for all kinds of calculations. Is there a way to do that?

Secondly i want to make this url restricted for GET only url , is there a way to make send the user to 404 error incase he tries to post on this page?

If you don't have model, you can extends right from yii\rest\Controller and add actions that you need

Here you can see example:

namespace api\controllers;
use yii\rest\Controller;
class MyController extends Controller
{
public function actionFast()
    {
        echo "XXX";
    }
}
