Multiple parameters in a web api 2 get

Question

I want to make a web api that is passed 4 parameters.

Here is my route:

        config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: \"DefaultApi\",
                    


        

Answer 1

Ensure you have default api route setting in WebApiConfig.cs file.

public static class WebApiConfig
{
    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 }
        );

        config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
        name: "ContactApi",
        routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{email}/{firstname}/{lastname}/{source}"
        );
    }
}

Note : I replaced fakedomain with localhost and it works... (localhost/api/Contacts/GetId?email=user@domain.com&firstname=joe&lastname=shmoe&source=123)
