Hi Andrea,

This is definitely possible - if your module is a Virtualmin plugin
that has been enabled on the Feature and Plugins page, you can create
scripts in the module directory named like your-api-call.pl that have a
similar structure to the .pl scripts for the core Virtualmin API (which
can be seen in the virtual-server directory).
