Routes in ASP.net Core API

Question

I read lot of topic about routes for API in Asp.net core but I cannot make it work.

First, this is my controller :

Public class BXLogsController : Controller {     //[HttpGet("api/[controller]/ID/{id}", Name = "GetL")]     public IActionResult GetById(string id)     {         if (id.Trim() == "")             return BadRequest();         else         {             Logs l = AccessBase.AccBase.GetLog(id);             return Json(l);         }     }      //[HttpGet("api/[controller]/API/{apiname}", Name = "GetLAPI")]     public IActionResult GetByAPI(string apiname)     {         if (apiname.Trim() == "")             return BadRequest();         else         {             List<Logs> lstLogs = AccessBase.AccBase.GetLogsApi(apiname);             return Json(lstLogs);         }     } } 

I tried to use the HttpGetAttribute with the path (refer to comment) but that doesn't work.

So I want to use MapRoute approach but that doesn't work also.

app.UseMvc(routes => {     routes.MapRoute(         name: "LogsId",         template: "api/[controller]/ID/{id}",         defaults: new { controller = "BXLogs", action = "GetById" });      routes.MapRoute(         name: "LogsAPI",         template: "api/[controller]/API/{apiname}",         defaults: new { controller = "BXLogs", action = "GetByAPI" }); }); 

I must have forgotten something but I see nothing.

Anyone can help me ?

Try this. You can put a common route prefix on the controller.

[Route("api/[controller]")] public class BXLogsController : Controller {     //GET api/BXlogs/id/blah     [HttpGet("ID/{id}", Name = "GetL")]     public IActionResult GetById(string id) { ... }      //GET api/BXlogs/api/blahapi     [HttpGet("API/{apiname}", Name = "GetLAPI")]     public IActionResult GetByAPI(string apiname) { ... } }
