Nginx rewrite of URL with and without trailing slash

I am using the Nginx annotations in Helm like so:

ingress:
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$2
  hosts:
    - host: "example.com"
      paths:
        - path: /api(/?)(.*)

When visiting example.com/api/, my URL is rewritten as expected and I am forwarded to my application.

However, when the trailing slash is omitted, e.g example.com/api, this no longer is the case. What could I do to ensure that the scenario without a trailing slash included is correctly evaluated?

    You can try to add another path for that specific endpoint in your paths array:

    ingress:
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$2
  hosts:
    - host: "example.com"
      paths:
        - path: /api
        ...
        - path: /api(/?)(.*)
        ...

    If you are using K8s 1.18 or later you can take advantage of pathType

    ingress:
  hosts:
    - host: "example.com"
      paths:
        - path: /api
          pathType: Prefix

    I think you are searching for regex alternatives?

    ingress:
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/rewrite-target: /$2
  hosts:
    - host: "example.com"
      paths:
        - path: /api(/|$)(.*)

    Either after /api there’s another / with whatever (captured by the $2) or there is the end of the line, which will make /api be rewritten to /.
