I'm looking for a way how to integrate OpenID Authentication into my API (ASP.NET Web API). I didn't find an example so far. I already had a look at http://dotnetopenauth.net/ and http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/mvc-5/create-an-aspnet-mvc-5-app-with-facebook-and-google-oauth2-and-openid-sign-on but because it's just an API I don't want to redirect to a webpage but rather to an OpenID Provider API...

Could anyone point me to the right direction?

Authentication protocols like OpenID and OAuth were designed for user interaction so that the user can approve access to the 3rd party API. There isn't really a way to use them solely with Web API. –  jebar8 Dec 31 '13 at 23:28
