    How to get Content via API, with condition, using plugin or webapi?

    Hello all,

    I am new to Umbraco, and trying hard to get API working. I just need something simple like /umbraco/api/articles?articleAuthor=john wick

    Here's what I've tried:

    1. Install Tapas plugin (https://github.com/joeriks/tapas). Works great, but no option to filter by property (eg: articleAuthor = "john wick")
    2. Try to create my own controller inheriting UmbracoApiController, following https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/reference/routing/webapi/ but can't get it working. Here's the screenshot enter image description here

    Edit: trying to call the api: enter image description here Am I doing anything wrong here?

    Thanks in advance!

    Can you add 

    [System.Web.Http.HttpGet]

public IEnumerable<string> GetAllProducts()

    And of course remember to build

    Did this, but still the same.

    I can't find any guide to build the project in Visual Studio Code. I assume starting IIS Express will build it?

    I think you need to build it.

    Do you have a normal visual studio?

    I googled build in vs code and my first result is this https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/csharp

    FINALLY! I found the solution!! After all the trouble while trying to move my existing website from VS Code to Visual Studio, and build them

    In order to have Visual Studio Code to "build" the website, all the .cs code must be in App_Code folder, as such: enter image description here Result: enter image description here

    Thanks for your help!!
