Could ASP.NET Web Api be bad for SEO?

Will Web API based website suffer SEO problems?

Given that all content of a page is being pulled by javascript... will search engine crawlers be able to get the page content?

I heard that crawlers do not always support javascript or perform javascript when crawling on a page.

It's not Web API that is bad for SEO, it's choosing an architecture where you use a web browser to navigate to empty HTML pages and then use JS to pull in the data. ASP.NET Web API does not have to be used that way. You can't blame a hammer for building a bad house.

Depends.

Will ALL search engine crawlers be able to get the page content, I do not know.

Do the search engine crawlers that matter get the page content, yes.

Google and Bing combined own the search market, both can index content pulled in by javascript (and probably others as well).

Robert Scavilla on how content is indexed.

Search Engine Land on google executing javascript for indexing.
