asp.net web api controller has standart http method support. GET, POST, DELETE, PATCH. So controller has standart methods of http. For example I have a ProductController. I can get products, delete, create and update.
If I need best seller products, I need new GET method. In this stuation, controller gives error "Multiple actions were found that match the request: Get"
Should I create a new controller for these operations or use in same controller?
You can do that by modifying the routing, following is default routing (App_start -> webApiConfig.cs)
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "API Default",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
You need to modify it to:
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "ActionApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
