You could set the Location header:

    return response;

You can check this for redirecting a page from a controller in web api

[Route("Report/MyReport")]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> getReport() {

    string url = "https://localhost:44305/Templates/ReportPage.html";

    System.Uri uri = new System.Uri(url);

    return Redirect(uri);
}
