WebAPI routing - how to make default routing ignore named methods?

Say I have those methods in a controller:

Get() 

[HttpGet]
FindSomeone()

I have a default route, and a route with actions: routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}".

Works fine when I call /mycontroller/FindSomeone, but fails with multiple matching routes error when I call GET /mycontroller/.

Is there a way to make default route to match Get() method only, and skip the FindSomeone() method?

AttributeRouting migh work better for you in this scenario. It should be as simple as decorating the two methods with a Get Attribute,

[RoutePrefix("mycontroller")
public class MyController 
{
  [GET("")]
  Get() 

  [GET("FindSomeone")]
  FindSomeone()
}

That will make those methods available as mycontroller and mycontroller/FindSomeone.

Declare the default Get action for all controllers in the main routing

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