Passing multiple parameters to web API GET method

Question

I have created a WEB API using MySQL Database. The API works as expected for now. I sent a meter serial number and a date time parameter and then G

You can pass a custom model to an action method, but I suggest not using the GET for you task because GET does not have a body.

Instead, use the SEARCH verb and put the list of serials number and the date inside a custom model in the body.

public class MeterSearchModel 
{
   public List<string> Serials {get;set;}
   public DateTime Date {get;set;}  
}

In .NET Core 2 your controller would have something like -

[AcceptVerbs("SEARCH")]
public async Task<IActionResult> Search([FromBody] MeterSearchModel model)
{
    //..perform search 
}
