Regular Expression for Nginx Location Block and Proxy Pass

I would like to ask about some configurations for Nginx; How to setup regular expression in Nginx location block? this is my configuration

location ~ ^/web/api/v1/([A-Za-z]+) {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:5000/$1;
}

So, the use case for this config is when i type "localhost/web/api/v1/apple" it will routed to localhost:5000/apple, "localhost/web/api/v1/pineapple" it will routed to localhost:5000/pineapple, and so on. Note: the apple and pineapple only example path name.

Thank You
