So I have a C# MVC Web API and Web Application that is an all-in-one project. I've created something similar to this in the past but the Web Application and Web API were two different projects with two different URLs.



For example:



The Web Application would be hosted at mywebsite.com/webapp



The Web API would be hosted at mywebsite.com/webapi



Any time I wanted to call the Web API from the Web Application all I had to do is send an Ajax request using the URL mywebsite.com/webapi/api/getdata



However, with my current project it's all-in-one. So in testing I would simply call /api/getdata and it would work just fine in Visual Studio debug. But when I deploy this site for testing and actually host it all my API calls are met with HTTP 404 errors.



So how do I call the Web API when the Web API doesn't have it's own distinct URL?

    Are you hosting it in a folder? Or the root for your domain name?

  • It's in a folder. That's what I was missing. I set it to call /ProjectFolder/api/Users/GetUser and it worked. :)

In IIS I converted the folder to an application and then made sure to switch the calls from



mywebsite.com/api/getdata


to



mywebsite.com/myproject/api/getdata


and it's working now.
