Attribute Routing with RoutingParameter

I currently have a set of action methods in a web api controller that use Attribute Routing.

[RoutePrefix("Paper")]...

[Route("Shape/Octagon/{id:minlength(1)}]
public IEnumerable<sampleShape> PostactionName(string id){..}

[Route("Shape/Hexagon/{id:minlength(1)}]]
public IEnumerable<sampleShape> PostactionName(string id){..}

which would work for the following URIs

api/Paper/Shape/Octagon/"1,2,3"
api/Paper/Shape/Hexagon/"3,2,1"

but becomes unusable once the id parameter becomes to long. Is there anyway to have routing use the parameter id as a form data rather than part of the URI but still keep the Route attribute.

You can use FromBody attribute to let the engine know that parameter will come from post body

[RoutePrefix("Paper")]...

[Route("Shape/Octagon"}]
public IEnumerable<sampleShape> PostactionName([FromBody]string id){..}

[Route("Shape/Hexagon"}]]
public IEnumerable<sampleShape> PostactionName([FromBody]string id){..}
