HTACCESS - How to make RewriteCond that will "cut" URL address

Lastly I started development API for my web application. I want to make mine API look like those "famous" APIs like Discord one - good looking and easy-to-use. This is my folder hierarchy:

root:
   api:
      api.php
      .htaccess

I'd like to make RewriteCond in .htaccess file that will make link like that:

https://example.com/api/user/1234/test

Into something like that:

https://example.com/api/api.php?input=user/1234/test

I am new into .htaccess, but I have read some docs, but

Thanks for help in advantage.

EDIT 1

My current .htaccess file only contains links to ErrorDocuments.

First off, make sure your .htaccess is being read by Apache. AllowOverride all should appear in the directory block of your virtual host config:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    <Directory /path/to/web/root>
        AllowOverride all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Then, add these lines to your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(api/v2/)(.*)
RewriteRule .* %1api.php?input=%2

This introduction to mod_rewrite from the apache docs is very helpful: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/intro.html#regex

You can play around with different rules here: https://htaccess.madewithlove.be?share=853262c5-e0a5-5048-96bc-684aec5da2fb
