ASP.NET Web Api-目标URI和部署

Question

So I'm brand new to developing an API, I have an existing MVC website which is published on Azure, and I would like to create my API using the ASP.NET Web Api template in a new project.

My question is in deployment. How can I deploy this API so that the target address is like:

www.MyMVCWebsite.com/api/etc...

I don't want to modify my existing MVC site to contain the api as I've seen some posts mention that it is less secure, and all tutorials I've seen are for the web api template and I'm learning this from scratch.

Within the publish to azure settings in visual studio it gives the option to publish to an existing site...would this achieve what I want or is there more to it?

Answer 1

You just need to configure the routes to what you want it to be.

routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "API Default",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
