I am working on a project which includes a REST API component. I have a controller dedicated to handling all of the REST API calls.

Is there any way to catch all exc

You can completely bypass Yii's default error displaying mechanism by registering onError and onException event listeners.

Example:

class ApiController extends CController
{
  public function init()
  {
    parent::init();

    Yii::app()->attachEventHandler('onError',array($this,'handleError'));
    Yii::app()->attachEventHandler('onException',array($this,'handleError'));
  }

  public function handleError(CEvent $event)
  {        
    if ($event instanceof CExceptionEvent)
    {
      // handle exception
      // ...
    }
    elseif($event instanceof CErrorEvent)
    {
      // handle error
      // ...
    }

    $event->handled = TRUE;
  }

  // ...
}
