Steps to reproduce the issue

It's not an issue but a little improvement because normal link for the Api is to call the index.php (it is logical) we can easily trim the index.php like the Joomla CMS root.

Expected result

Calling Api with mod_rewrite: api/v1/rest_call

Actual result

Calling Api without mod_rewrite: api/index.php/v1/rest_call

System information (as much as possible)

Just a copy of a minimal .htaccess and web.config with /api as base to quick enable rewrite functionality. It can improve Joomla to be totally Restful compliant.

Adding a little explanation in the documentation will be helpful for beginners.

Additional comments

Keep in mind to not remove the entire /api folder or files on update or core reinstall.
