Custom WebApi routes
I have been going in circles with this issue. I have some custom Webapi routes to be implemented on my Umbraco 8 site.

I first added a ApplicationStartComponent that called the GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register); . But then I got duplicate error due to this line being in the WebAPIConfig
```
config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
```
So I followed the instructions in this issue https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/issues/4775 implemented the following code
```
public class ApplicationStartedComposer : IComposer
{
    public void Compose(Composition composition)
    {
        composition.Components().Insert<ApplicationStartComponent>();
    }
}
public class ApplicationStartComponent : IComponent
{
    public void Initialize()
    {

        AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
        GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
        //FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);

        RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
        GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.EnsureInitialized();

    }
```
This code meant that the Custom WebAPI works. However when I try and login to the Umbraco backoffice I get a 500 error.

Any suggestions?

Hi Nadia

Do the custom routes work if you 'just' call MapHttpAttributeRoutes() ?

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();
        }
    }
}

regards

Marc
