You will need to inject IHostingEnvironment into your class to have access to the ApplicationBasePath property value: Read about Dependency Injection. After successfully injecting the dependency, the wwwroot path should be available to you. For example:

private readonly IHostingEnvironment _appEnvironment;

public ProductsController(IHostingEnvironment appEnvironment)
{
   _appEnvironment = appEnvironment;
}

Usage:

 [HttpGet]
 public IEnumerable Get()
 {
    FolderScanner scanner = new FolderScanner(_appEnvironment.ApplicationBasePath);
    return scanner.scan();
 }
