Path Not Working:
https://localhost:44310/api/demo/get/2
https://localhost:44310/api/democontroller/get/2
Response:
HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Answer 1

It'll work by convention so if you need to call Get by id just use https://localhost:44310/api/demo/2 without action name but you need to specify verb HttpGet if you need to call Post also you will call https://localhost:44310/api/demo with specify verb HttpPost
This is how to call post action using postman for example
or add [Route("[controller]")] attribute to class like
[Route("[controller]")]
public class DemoController : ApiController
{
// GET api/<controller>
[Route("Get")]
public IEnumerable<string> Get()
{
return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
}
}
so in this case you can add controller name to your endpoint like https://localhost:44310/api/demo/get/2
