    How to remove /Umbraco/API/ from Url

    Hi

    I have a Umbraco API Controller "Products" and a API "Rates".

    public class ProductsController : UmbracoApiController

    public JObject Rates()

    It gives me a Url "~/Umbraco/API/Products/Rates" how can I remove the "/Umbraco/API/" from the Url so it looks like "~/Products/Rates"??

    How you can help :-)

    Hi Lars,

    You can Rewrite the urls by adding this to your web.config inside of system.webServer

    It will rewrite the url from ~/Umbraco/API/Products/Rates to ~/API/Products/Rates

    I would not recommend to remove the api completely, but you can by changing.

    <match url="^api/(.*)" />

    to 

    <match url="^/(.*)" />

    This code also rewrites it for the surface controllers.

    <rewrite>
  <rules>
    <rule name="Umbraco/api -&gt; /api" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url="^api/(.*)" />
      <action type="Rewrite" url="umbraco/api/{R:1}" />
    </rule>
    <rule name="Umbraco/surface -&gt; / surface" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url="^surface/(.*)" />
      <action type="Rewrite" url="umbraco/surface/{R:1}" />
    </rule>
  </rules>
</rewrite>

    Hi Lars!

    An alternative would be to use "Attribute routing". Then you could do something like this

    public class AttributeRoutingComponent :IComponent
{
    public void Initialize()
    {
        GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();        

    }

    public void Terminate()
    {

    }
}

public class AttributeRoutingComposer : IUserComposer
{
    public void Compose(Composition composition)
    {
       composition.Components().Append<AttributeRoutingComponent>(); ;
    }
}

public class ProductsController : UmbracoApiController
{
    [Route("products/rates")]
    public string Rates()
    {
        //Do stuff
    }
}

    Then you could access it via products/rates. You can read more about it here

    Hope this helps you get on the right track!

    I agree with Johannes, if you have a new set up then Attribute routing would be the way to go.

    My recommendation only works for Version 8 and lower.
