How should I pass multiple parameters to an ASP.Net Web API GET?

Question

I think the easiest way is to simply use AttributeRouting.

It's obvious within your controller, why would you want this in your Global WebApiConfig file?

Example:

    [Route("api/YOURCONTROLLER/{paramOne}/{paramTwo}")]
    public string Get(int paramOne, int paramTwo)
    {
        return "The [Route] with multiple params worked";
    }

The {} names need to match your parameters.

Simple as that, now you have a separate GET that handles multiple params in this instance.

Just add a new route to the WebApiConfig entries.

For instance, to call:

public IEnumerable<SampleObject> Get(int pageNumber, int pageSize) { ..

add:

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
    name: "GetPagedData",
    routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{pageNumber}/{pageSize}"
);

Then add the parameters to the HTTP call:

GET //<service address>/Api/Data/2/10 

I just had to implement a RESTfull api where I need to pass parameters. I did this by passing the parameters in the query string in the same style as described by Mark's first example "api/controller?start=date1&end=date2"

In the controller I used a tip from URL split in C#?

// uri: /api/courses
public IEnumerable<Course> Get()
{
    NameValueCollection nvc = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(Request.RequestUri.Query);
    var system = nvc["System"];
    // BL comes here
    return _courses;
}

In my case I was calling the WebApi via Ajax looking like:

$.ajax({
        url: '/api/DbMetaData',
        type: 'GET',
        data: { system : 'My System',
                searchString: '123' },
        dataType: 'json',
        success: function (data) {
                  $.each(data, function (index, v) {
                  alert(index + ': ' + v.name);
                  });
         },
         statusCode: {
                  404: function () {
                       alert('Failed');
                       }
        }
   });

I hope this helps...

I found exellent solution on http://habrahabr.ru/post/164945/

public class ResourceQuery
{
   public string Param1 { get; set; }
   public int OptionalParam2 { get; set; }
}

public class SampleResourceController : ApiController
{
    public SampleResourceModel Get([FromUri] ResourceQuery query)
    {
        // action
    }
}
