Hi Biagio

I think if I understand correctly you might want to use Web API attribute routes to change the urls for your api endpoint?

Something like this?

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Web.Http;
using Umbraco.Web.WebApi;

namespace Umbraco8.Controllers
{
    public class MyCustomApiController : UmbracoApiController
    {
        [HttpGet]
        [Route("umbraco/api/things")]
        public IEnumerable<string> GetThings)
        {
            return new[] { "Table", "Chair", "Desk", "Computer", "Beer fridge" };
        }     
    }
}

which would make the url:

/umbraco/api/things to return the list provided by GetThings endpoint

For this to work you'd need to call MapHttpAttributeRoutes method as Umbraco starts up, if you add a class that inherits IComponent you can call this method on Initialize() and add another class inheriting IComposer to run the Component at start-up eg:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Http;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Routing;
using Umbraco.Core.Composing;
using Umbraco.Web;
using Umbraco.Web.Mvc;

namespace Umbraco8.Components
{

     [RuntimeLevel(MinLevel = RuntimeLevel.Run)]
    public class RegisterCustomApiRoutesComposer : IComposer
    {
 composition.Components().Insert<RegisterCustomApiRoutesComponent>();
    }

    public class RegisterCustomApiRoutesComponent : IComponent
    {


        public void Initialize()
        {
            GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
}

        public void Terminate()
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }
}
