Hi Ivan,

You sure can, I do it myself all the time.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/web-api/overview/web-api-routing-and-actions/attribute-routing-in-web-api-2

[RoutePrefix("api/v1/products")]
public class ProductsController : UmbracoApiController
{
    [Route("")]
    public List<Product> GetAllProducts()
    {
        return null;
    }

    [Route("{productId}")]
    public Product GetProduct(int productId)
    {
        //   Throw a clean exception
        throw new HttpResponseException(new HttpResponseMessage
        {
            StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.BadRequest,
            Content = new StringContent("not written")
        });    
    }

    [Route("{productId}/sources")]
    public List<Source> ListProductSources(int productId)
    {
        return null;
    }

    [Route("{productId}/sources/{sourceId}")]
    public Source GetProductSource(int productId, int sourceId)
    {
        return null;
    }

}

Cheers

Jonathan

I'm trying something similar, but with an UmbracoAuthorizedController:

[RoutePrefix("umbraco/backoffice/MyDashboardSection")]
public class MyDashboardSectionController : UmbracoAuthorizedController
{
    [Route("")]
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View("MyDashboard/Index.cshtml");
    }
}

But I get a 404 when I try to go to /umbraco/backoffice/MyDashboardSection

Any reason on why that wouldn't work?

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your effort. But I couldn't get this working.

When I access the

http://localhost:53724/umbraco/api/v1/products/

Umbraco is not able to route this correctly and always returns 404.

But this url is handler correctly:

http://localhost:53724/umbraco/api/products/getallproducts

event though I use routing attributes just as you showed in previous post.

Which version of Umbraco are using? We use Umbraco 7.5.8 along with OWIN.

Hi Tom,

That did not help, unfortunately. I installed UmbracoCMS 7.5.13 on top of empty ASP.NET Web solution, and created simple controller:

[RoutePrefix("umbraco/api/v1/products")]
public class ProductsController : UmbracoApiController
{
    [Route("")]
    public List<Product> GetAllProducts()
    {
        return null;
    }
}

But result remains same:

• umbraco/api/v1/products - not working
• umbraco/api/getallproducts - works fine

@Ivan Is it possible to do dependency injection for APIcontrollers, because i need to inject another service of umbraco during api call, for example IMemberService, i have tried with light inject and auto fac nut nothing worked, please check the error below, (Question related to umbraco 8)

}

}

is working on a reply...
