 RewriteEngine On    # Turn on the rewriting engine
 #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !www\.a3k\.in
 RewriteRule     /([^/]+)/?(.*)$ /anything.php?api=$1&&data=$2    [NC,L] 

Answer 1

The path in a RewriteRule does not contain a preceding slash, and because you didn’t add a ^ to mark the beginning of the path, this may have caused a wrong behavior. So try this instead:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/(.*)$ anything.php?api=$1&data=$2 [NC,L]

Additionally I added a RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} to make sure that URLs of actually existing files won’t be rewritten.
