I'm building an API for a Twitter like site using Web API and have trouble with mapping the routes I have the following actions for the User controller: public User Get(string firstname, string lastname) public User Get(Guid id) public User Friends(Guid id) public User Followers(Guid id) public User Favorites(Guid id) The desired routes and the generated documentation should be: api/users?firstname={firstname}&lastname={lastname} api/users/{id} api/users/{id}/friends api/users/{id}/followers api/users/{id}/favorites In WebApiConfig.cs I have: config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( "2", "api/{controller}/

I'm trying to navigate to a page which its URL is in the following format: localhost:xxxxx/User/{id}/VerifyEmail?secretKey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I've added a new route in the RouteConfig.cs file and so my RouteConfig.cs looks like this: public class RouteConfig { public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) { routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); routes.MapRoute( name: "VerifyEmail", url: "User/{id}/VerifyEmail", defaults: new { controller = "User", action = "VerifyEmail" } ); routes.MapRoute( name: "Default", url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}", defaults: new { controller =

I'm creating a new webapi using attribute routing to create a nested route as so: // PUT: api/Channels/5/Messages [ResponseType(typeof(void))] [Route("api/channels/{id}/messages")] public async Task<IHttpActionResult> PostChannelMessage(int id, Message message) { if (!ModelState.IsValid) { return BadRequest(ModelState); } if (id != message.ChannelId) { return BadRequest(); } db.Messages.Add(message); await db.SaveChangesAsync(); return CreatedAtRoute("DefaultApi", new { id = message.Id }, message); } I however want to return a route that isn't nested i.e.: /api/Messages/{id} which is defined

I've done a few searches but haven't seem to find anything... Using WebApi, I would like to map an input parameter to a header value: e.g. E.g. in controller: public User GetUser(int id){ ... return user; } I want WebApi to map the id parameter to a header value (e.g. X-Auth: 1234)... rather than an URL parameter. Is this supported? I don't think this is supported out of the box, like for example with the [FromBody] attribute. It seems you should be able to achieve this functionality by using Model Binders, as described here . In the model binder you have access to the request and its headers,

My understanding of the flow of events with an ASP.NET Web API Castle Windsorized app that uses Models, Repositories, and Controllers: 0) The client calls a REST method via a URI such as: http://localhost:28642/api/platypi/Count 1) Castle Windsor's routing engine maps intercepts that incoming call, sending the registered concrete class that implements the interface platypiController has as an arg in its constructor. 2) That constructor determines which of its methods is to be called (what corresponds to "Count" in this case). 3) That Controller method calls a corresponding method on the
