    Trying to set up a simple WebApi endpoint, using a custom route (ie not ~/umbraco/api/foo/bar) - figured it would be a matter of adding the WebApiConfig class, invoking it, and then using route attributes in my controller, inheriting from ApiController.

    I figured wrong - I get 404s on all routes. Wondering if there's any other Umbraco logic I need to be aware of, or if I'm just missing something obvious.

    I know code samples would help, but I'm at home and the code is at work...

    Hey Nathan,

    Have you read through the Api Controller docs, it goes into pretty good detail as to how they should be setup in Umbraco

    https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/reference/routing/webapi/

    Hope this helps

    Matt

    Thanks Matt, read through that earlier. Should I be able to define my own routes against a controller inheriting from UmbracoApiController? It's not critical, but I'd prefer to define my own via attributes...

    Had a similar problem getting web api working after umbraco was installed in a project.

    This blog post solved the problem for me, it appears you need to register your custom web api routing after umbraco has started and registered its routes.

    Hi everyone I was able to make this work but unfortunately this page is formatting it incorrectly so these are my pics of how I made it work in Umbraco V8:

    1. Created a composer: enter image description here

    2. Created a custom controller inheriting from UmbracoApiController: enter image description here

      1. Call it like GET http://[website_url]/frontend/api/customdata/{param1}/{param2}/

    Hi bronzewind,

    I tried your solution. It was very easy to implement. But I'm getting 404 response. Any idea what can be the issue?

    Hope to hear from you, Sandra26

    Hi Sandra,

    404 means the endpoint is not being found. please be sure you are calling the api with all the parameters, that you're inheriting from UmbracoApiController and the Composer matches the one in the example.

    If you don't find where the issue is, feel free of pasting here your code or more details about your implementation so that I can give it a look.

    Thanks!

    Hi boronzewind, I've implemented your solution, butnow i'm receiving an error about it not being able to create my controller:

    {
    "Message": "An error has occurred.",
    "ExceptionMessage": "An error occurred when trying to create a controller of type 'MyAssuriaController'. Make sure that the controller has a parameterless public constructor.",

    }
    

    }

    I'm using Umbraco v8.5.5. I have also tried adding a parameterless constructor in the controller. This returns the exact same error.

    Anyd idea what might cause this issue and how to fix it?

    That is a different issue. Looks like you are using IoC. In that case, did you register your dependencies in a Composer?

    I'm not familiar with IoC, so if I am using IoC, it is not consciously. The thing is that this ApiController works fine if I leave out the composer for the custom routing. So I don't think I would need to do any sort of injection.

    Can you post your AsuriaController? And you composer?

    MemberService class? I don't see anything wrong in here, but can you expose that?
