From http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/web-api-routing-and-actions/routing-and-action-selection

You can also provide constraints, which restrict how a URI segment can match a placeholder:

constraints: new { id = @"\d+" } // Only matches if "id" is one or more digits.

Adding this constraint to "MethodOne" (api/{controller}/{action}/{id}/{type}) would mean that numbers it only matches if {id} is a number otherwise it would match "MethodTwo" ("api/{controller}/{action}/{directory}/{report}").
