Just a side note from my part as well. In order for queryString params to work, you need to provide a default value for your method parameters to make it optional. Just as you would also do when normally invoking a C# method.

[RoutePrefix("api/v1/profile")]
public class ProfileController : ApiController
{

   ...

   [HttpGet]
   [Route("{profileUid}")]
   public IHttpActionResult GetProfile(string profileUid, long? someOtherId) 
   {
      // ...
   }

   ...

}

This allows me to call the endpoint like this:

/api/v1/profile/someUid
/api/v1/profile/someUid?someOtherId=123
