# Version 1.17.2
This version introduces Medusa API Routes โ a massive improvement of the developer experience of creating custom endpoints

## Highlights
### API Routes
Version 1.17.2 of `@medusajs/medusa` introduces API Routes - a massive improvement of the developer experience of creating custom endpoints in Medusa.
Custom API endpoints can now be implemented using similar patterns to frameworks like Next.js and Svelte.
```ts
// api/admin/products/route.ts
import { MedusaRequest, MedusaResponse } from "@medusajs/medusa"
export async function GET(req: MedusaRequest, res: MedusaResponse) {
const productService = req.scope.resolve("productService")
const products = await productService.list()
res.json({ products })
}
```
In the above example, we create the endpoint `GET /admin/products`. The example illustrates a few key points:
- Endpoint paths are inferred from the file path of the route
- `route.{ts|js}` is a new special file that contains the route handlers
- HTTP methods of route handlers are defined by the handler name (above `GET`)
Read more about the API Routes in the [PR](https://github.com/medusajs/medusa/pull/5365) and [announcement post](https://medusajs.com/blog/announcing-api-routes/).
