There are no events in Magento 2 web APIs, but it is possible to extend any public method in the system using befor/after/around plugins. Also see why it is better to use plugins instead of observers.

  • I was also thinking the same, but just wanted to be sure before creating a plugin for this

  • Just wanted to clarify, that you want to extend something in the framework itself, not just add custom field to the API request/response, right? If just add new field then extension attributes is the way to go.

If you want to add something to the response you may want to look into extension_attributes. Here is description in magento docs and here another question on stack

I don't know maybe this is a dirty way, override this class 

Magento\Webapi\Controller\Rest\Router::match()
