How to use event only in Web API Rest and Web API Soap?

While SOAP and REST share similarities over the HTTP protocol. In this article, we will discuss Web API REST and Web API SOAP.

Step 1: You need to create a file in your custom module app/code/{vendor}/{module}/etc/extension_attributes.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Api/etc/extension_attributes.xsd">
<extension_attributes for="Magento\Sales\Api\Data\OrderInterface">
     <attribute code="seller" type="string" />
</extension_attributes>
</config>

Step 2: Create observe.In this step, you need to create observer for event ‘sales_order_load_after’ through the file {vendor}/{module}/etc/webapi_rest/events.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"   xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
<event name="sales_order_load_after">
    <observer name="sales_order_load_order_attribute" instance="{Vendor}\{Module}\Observer\Sales\OrderLoadAfter" />
</event>
</config>

Step 3: Create a file to handle this event.Create a file {vendor}/{module}/Observer/Sales/OrderLoadAfter.php to handle the event ‘sales_order_load_after’ which is declared above

<?php
namespace {Vendor}\{Module}\Observer\Sales;
use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;
class OrderLoadAfter implements ObserverInterface
{
public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer)
{
    $order = $observer->getOrder();
    $extensionAttributes = $order->getExtensionAttributes();
    if ($extensionAttributes === null) {
        $extensionAttributes = $this->getOrderExtensionDependency();
    }
    
    $seller='test';//add your custom logic for seller.
    $extensionAttributes->setSeller($seller);
    $order->setExtensionAttributes($extensionAttributes);
}
private function getOrderExtensionDependency()
{
    $orderExtension = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance()->get(
        '\Magento\Sales\Api\Data\OrderExtension'
    );
    return $orderExtension;
}
}
