Asp.Net Core Set Default API Versioning

Question

I'm using Asp.Net Core as a Rest API Service. I need to have API Versioning. Actually, I set in the Startup following settings and It's work correctly but when I set to default Version It's not working on.

services.AddVersionedApiExplorer(
                options =>
                    {
                        options.GroupNameFormat = "'v'VVV";
                        options.SubstituteApiVersionInUrl = true;
                        options.AssumeDefaultVersionWhenUnspecified = true;
                        options.DefaultApiVersion = new ApiVersion(1, 0);
                    });
services.AddApiVersioning(
                options =>
                    {
                        options.ReportApiVersions = true;
                        options.AssumeDefaultVersionWhenUnspecified = true;
                        options.DefaultApiVersion = new ApiVersion(1, 0);
                    })
            .AddMvc(
                options =>
                    {
                        options.RespectBrowserAcceptHeader = true;
                    })
            .AddXmlSerializerFormatters();

and set Attribute in Controllers like this: Version 1:

[ApiController]
[Route("v{version:apiVersion}/[controller]")]
[ApiVersion("1.0")]
public class UsersController : ControllerBase
{
    [HttpGet("log")]
    public string Get()
    {
        return $"{DateTime.Now}";
    }
}

Version 2:

[ApiController]
[Route("v{version:apiVersion}/[controller]")]
[ApiVersion("2.0")]
public class UsersController : ControllerBase
{
    [HttpGet("log")]
    public string Get()
    {
        return $"{DateTime.Now}";
    }
}

I can get the result as fllowing urls:

http://localhost:5000/v1/users/log => Status Code: 200

http://localhost:5000/v2/users/log => Status Code: 200

But http://localhost:5000/users/log => Status Code: 404

How I can set the default API in Versioning?

Thanks, everyone for taking the time to try and help explain

Answer 1

Your configuration correctly sets default api version if none is specified. But your routes requires request url to include v{version} part. So one possible solution is to add another route without v{version} like this

[ApiController]
[Route("v{version:apiVersion}/[controller]")]
[Route("/[controller]")]
[ApiVersion("1.0")]
public class UsersController : ControllerBase
{
    [HttpGet("log")]
    public string Get()
    {
        return $"{DateTime.Now}";
    }
}

Now request to http://localhost:5000/users/log will point to controller with api version 1.0. If you add this route to second controller the version 1.0 will still be picked because default ApiVersion will be selected and it's 1.0.
