nginx add header based on sub path

Question

I have the following:

location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri =404;

    include fastcgi_params;

    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
    ...
    if ($host = "www.domain.tld") {
        add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "https://site.domain.tld";
    }

what is the correct way to change the header so that if the path is contains /api the header then becomes:

add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "https://docs.domain.tld";

any advice is much appreciated

Have you tried my solution?

You should better create 2 different locations and share common proxy config and include as-needed.

/etc/nginx/proxy.conf

try_files $uri =404;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm.sock;
...

Your Host Config File

location ~ \.php$ {
    include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
    ...
    if ($host = "www.domain.tld") {
        add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "https://site.domain.tld";
    }
}
location ~ .*/api.*.php$ {
    include /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
    ....
    add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "https://docs.domain.tld";
    ....
}

Moreover, this can also be solved by using if statement on the $uri variable. But If Is Evil. That said you should avoid using if statement on the $host it is a bad practice.
