WebAPI No action was found on the controller

Question

I got an error - No action was found on the controller 'Action' that matches the request.

The url is http://localhost:37331/api/action/FindByModule/1.

The routing I used is

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(     name: "DefaultApi",     routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",     defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional } ); 

Controller:

public class ActionController : ApiController {     private IActionRepository repository = null;      [HttpGet]     [ActionName("All")]     public IEnumerable<JsonAction> All()     {         return from action in this.repository.Get()                select new JsonAction                {                    ID = action.ID,                    Text = action.Text.Trim(),                    Description = action.Description.Trim(),                };     }      [HttpGet]     [ActionName("FindByModule")]     public IEnumerable<JsonAction> FindByModule(Int64 moduleId)     {         return from action in this.repository.FindByModule(moduleId)                select new JsonAction                {                    ID = action.ID,                    Text = action.Text.Trim(),                    Description = action.Description.Trim(),                };     } } 

Answer 1

This is because there is a parameter name mismatch. From your route the value 1 is assigned to parameter named id and your action is looking for parameter named moduleId.

First option is to change your route like this:

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(     name: "DefaultApi",     routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{moduleId}",     defaults: new { moduleId = RouteParameter.Optional } ); 

Second is to change your URL like this:

http://localhost:37331/api/action/FindByModule?moduleId=1 

So the parameter name match.

My api had too many parameters and I was getting an error. I solved the problem with Route.

[Route("addressverification/{id}/{no}/{day}/{month}/{year}")] public AdressVerificationResult  Get(long? id, long? no ,long? day, long? month, long? year)         {                  return new AdressVerificationResult               {                 Aciklama = "19........4 kimlik numaralı kişinin 18.......1 adres numarasında 'YerlesimYeri' adres tipi için geçerli bir yurtiçi adres beyanı mevcuttur.",                 DurumKod = true             };            }
