Using multiple router in express

I've applied the routes to my application like this: 

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var router = express.Router();

  //localhost:8080/api/story
router.get('/story', function(req, res){
    res.send('welcome to our story');
})

  //localhost:8080/api
app.use('/api', router); 

  //localhost:8080/user/02213
router.get('/user/:id', function(req , res){ 
  console.log(req.params.id);
});

localhost:8080/user/02213 not working at the moment. Do I need to create a new router instead or?

The problem is that id not recognized in the request,
You should call it like that : req.params.id

Yes, you need to create a new router, because router will only be used for requests that start with /api:

//localhost:8080/api/story
router.get('/story', function(req, res){
  res.send('welcome to our story');
})

//localhost:8080/api
app.use('/api', router); 

//localhost:8080/user/02213
var anotherRouter = express.Router();
anotherRouter.get('/user/:id', function(req , res){ 
  console.log(req.params.id);
  res.end();
});
app.use('/', anotherRouter);
