Create REST API in app Namespace?

Hi, 

I am creating REST API'S for fetching data from an external server. I was able to successfully create the API.

Question/Problem:

I have two apps on the same Splunk instance

1) Development

2) Production

Both of them have a similar code for the REST API's. 

in restmap.conf

[script:build]

match=/build

script=build.py

scripttype=persist

handler=application.build

When I call the REST API from either Development or Production application the call is being made to the API in Development application.

I have tried using serviceNS/<app_name>/<user_name>/<rest_endpoint> 

But the calling is still being made to the API under Development.

How can I create the REST API in a such a way that it belongs to the APPs namespace.

P.S.

I need to keep the code same for both Production and Development application.

It is generally not good practice to keep development and production on the same instance.

You should consider some sort of build and delivery pipeline for deploying your code from development to production to "keep the code the same".
