How to attach a word before each request in spring mvc?

I have got a spring mvc controller which has many methods. In all the methods I start the path by /api followed by the actual word. Currently I have to manually type /api/request1 /api/request2 and so on. Is there a way to only mention my request name and /api gets appended automatically?

Controller:

package com.json.host;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@RestController
public class Test {
    @GetMapping(value="/api/host")
    public String returnText() {
        return "hello";
    }
}

You need to add @RequestMapping(value = "/api") at the class level. it's appended to method level requests automatically.

@RestController
@RequestMapping(value = "/api")
public class Test {

    @GetMapping(value="/request1")
    public String returnText() {
        return "hello";
    }

    @GetMapping(value="/request2")
    public String returnText2() {
        return "hello2";
    }
}

You can add @RequestMapping("/api") on class level and omit it on method level then.

So something like this should do the trick:

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api")
public class Test {
    @GetMapping(value="/host")
    public String returnText() {
        return "hello";
    }
}

Documented also in javadoc:

Supported at the type level as well as at the method level! When used at the type level, all method-level mappings inherit this primary mapping, narrowing it for a specific handler method.

(https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/bind/annotation/RequestMapping.html):

You can add a @RequestMapping("/api") at class level and in your methods mapping have only the rest of the url. 

package com.json.host;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api")
public class Test {
    @GetMapping(value="/host")
    public String returnText() {
        return "hello";
    }
}
