    Initialize REST API.

    By default, this function does nothing.  Your application needs to
    overload this function in order to implement your REST API.
    More information about REST can be found in the
    `documentation <http://flask-restful.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`_.

    api_map is an optional function that can be responsible
    for setting up the API.  This is usually accomplished with a series of
    add_resource() invocations.  api_map must take one parameter, which is
    the Flask-Restful object managed by Flask-Diamond.

    You will end up writing something like this in your application:

    def api_map(rest):
        rest_api.add_resource(Blah)
    """

    if api_map:
        api_map(rest)
    rest_api.init_app(self.app)
    return rest_api
