I am trying to post to the following Web API:
http://localhost:8543/api/login/authenticate
LoginApi (Web API) is defined below:
[RoutePrefix("login")]
public class LoginApi : ApiController
{
[HttpPost]
[Route("authenticate")]
public string Authenticate(LoginViewModel loginViewModel)
{
return "Hello World";
}
}
WebApiConfig.cs:
public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
{
// Web API configuration and services
// Web API routes
config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
}
Here is the error I get:
Request URL:http://localhost:8543/api/login/authenticate
Request Method:POST
Status Code:404 Not Found
Remote Address:[::1]:8543
Your controller name "LoginApi" needs to end in "Controller" in order for the framework to find it. For example: "LoginController"
Here is a good article which explains routing in ASP.NET Web API: http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/web-api-routing-and-actions/routing-in-aspnet-web-api
You are using login
as your route prefix on your controller so trying to call
http://localhost:8543/api/login/authenticate
will not be found as this code
[RoutePrefix("login")]
public class LoginApi : ApiController
{
//eg:POST login/authenticate.
[HttpPost]
[Route("authenticate")]
public string Authenticate(LoginViewModel loginViewModel)
{
return "Hello World";
}
}
will only work for
http://localhost:8543/login/authenticate
You need to change your route prefix to
[RoutePrefix("api/login")]
public class LoginApi : ApiController
{
//eg:POST api/login/authenticate.
[HttpPost]
[Route("authenticate")]
public string Authenticate(LoginViewModel loginViewModel)
{
return "Hello World";
}
}
Notice you are using both attribute routing on the controller/action and convention routing with config.Routes.MapHttpRoute.
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute will map the routes as per your definition " api/{controller}/{id}
".
While attribute routing, will map the routes based on how you've defined them: /login/authenticate
.
Also, since you are using both attribute routing and convention routing, attribute routing takes presendence. I would stick to using one or the other. Having both adds a bit of confusion as to what route will be used to access an action method.
