<?php

    /**
     * Retrieve customers data
     *
     * @param  object|array $filters
     * @return array
     */
    public function items($filters)
    {
        Mage::log('Hello from extended API call');
    }
}

\app\code\local\MyModule\CustomerOptIn\Model\Customer\Api\V2.php

<?php
class MyModule_CustomerOptIn_Model_Customer_Api_V2 extends Mage_Customer_Model_Customer_Api {

    protected $result = array();

}

MageRun Output:

magerun dev:class:lookup model customer/customer_api
Model customer/customer_api resolves to MyModule_CustomerOptIn_Model_Customer_Api

The Log Message 'Hello from extended API call' is never written into the log file.

If I put the Mage::log('Hello from extended API call'); into the original file it´s written into the log file!

Proposed solution

No idea ... Any help?

if you put a die() at the top of the file? does it get executed?

I've rewritten the same models in the past for a customers and it worked correctly

\app\code\local\MyModule\CustomerOptIn\Model\Customer\Api.php

<?php
die();
class MyModule_CustomerOptIn_Model_Customer_Api extends Mage_Customer_Model_Customer_Api {

    /**
     * Retrieve customers data
     *
     * @param  object|array $filters
     * @return array
     */
    public function items($filters)
    {
        Mage::log('Hello from extended API call');
    }
}

Yes! API Response just fine!

\app\code\local\MyModule\CustomerOptIn\Model\Customer\Api.php

<?php

class MyModule_CustomerOptIn_Model_Customer_Api extends Mage_Customer_Model_Customer_Api {

    die();

    /**
     * Retrieve customers data
     *
     * @param  object|array $filters
     * @return array
     */
    public function items($filters)
    {
        Mage::log('Hello from extended API call');
    }
}

Yes! API Response just fine, but:

magerun  dev:class:lookup model customer/customer_api
Model customer/customer_api resolves to MyModule_CustomerOptIn_Model_Customer_Api
PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected 'die' (T_EXIT), expecting function (T_FUNCTION) or const (T_CONST) in /var/www/html/magento-dev/app/code/local/MyModule/CustomerOptIn/Model/Customer/Api.php on line 6

so it seems that file is actually required right?

put a die in the items funcion then instead of the log, just to check

I think the problem in the code in OP is that your MyModule_CustomerOptIn_Model_Customer_Api_V2 file is extending from Mage_Customer_Model_Customer_Api instead of MyModule_CustomerOptIn_Model_Customer_Api, thus your custom items method is never executed.

THX a lot!
