Custom Dashboard using WebApi
I'm trying to create a group of custom dashboard boards. I've created a separated class library and referenced it in my Umbraco web project.
```
namespace Dashboards
{
    [Umbraco.Web.Mvc.PluginController("Dashboard")]
    [IsBackOffice]
    public class WelcomeController : UmbracoApiController
    {
        public int countPublishedNodes()
        {
            var contentService = Services.ContentService;
            int PublishedNodes = contentService.CountPublished();

            return PublishedNodes;
        }
    }
}
```
However I'm getting a 404 error when I try and access the method /umbraco/backoffice/api/Dashboard/Welcome/countPublishedNodes

can anyone see why? do I need to map it in an startup event ?

Hi John,
I've not used the [IsBackOffice] with UmbracoApiController but I've had great success using the UmbracoAuthorizedApiController .

Try the following code:
```
namespace Dashboard {
    [Umbraco.Web.Mvc.PluginController("Dashboard")]
    public class WelcomeController : Umbraco.Web.WebApi.UmbracoAuthorizedApiController {
        [System.Web.Http.HttpGet]
        public int countPublishedNodes() {
            var contentService = Services.ContentService;
            int PublishedNodes = contentService.CountPublished();

            return PublishedNodes;
        }
    }
}
```
[HttpGet] is required as by default it's considered a HTTP Post request and will disallow any access. UmbracoAuthorisedApiController will ensure the user is authorized before they make the request.

I hope this helped :)

Thanks,
Jamie
