There is no session mechanisim on web api beacuse it is against restfull idea.

If you need to store data like session you may consider to use

  1. Http Cookies http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/advanced/http-cookies

  2. Encrypted tokens which has the information you want to store.

  3. Use an MVC application like web api (playing with routes)

    Don't store sensitive data and use HTTPS
