No data appearing from web api call to angular front when returning a view model using Odata

Returning a View model to my from my web api to my angular front end and I'm not receiving any data. The response is: @odata.context: {"http://localhost:4141/odata/$metadata#Inspection/$entity", id: 0}

but it should also be returning a list of inspectors and inspections. The object creates on the Api side correctly but doesn't transfer into my front end?

Angular code:

  function getInspections() {
            inspectionService.getByCompanyId(vm.company.id).then(
                function (response) {
                    console.log(response)
                    vm.inspection = response.value;
                })
            };

API code

 public async Task<InspectionDetailViewModel> GetByCompanyId([FromODataUri] string id)
    {

        Guid companyId;

        var valid = Guid.TryParse(id, out companyId);
        if (valid)
        {
            var inspection = GetAllInspections(companyId)
                var inspectors = await GetAllInspectors();
            var ins = new InspectionDetailViewModel()
            {
                Inspections = inspection,
                Inspectors = inspectors

            };

            return ins;
        }

        // return BadRequest("Invalid Company Id");
    }

ViewModel:

public class InspectionDetailViewModel
{ 

    [Key]
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public List<InspectionDto> Inspections { get; set; }
    public List<Inspector> Inspectors { get; set; }

}

Odata Builder:

builder.EntitySet<InspectionDetailViewModel>("Inspection");
        builder
            .EntityType<InspectionDetailViewModel>()
            .Collection
            .Function("GetByCompanyId")
            .ReturnsCollectionFromEntitySet<InspectionDetailViewModel>("Inspection")
            .Parameter<string>("Id");

So it returns the Id but no other data, even though the data is there on the web api at the time of return.

Any ideas?

It seems that Inspections and Inspectors are built as Entity type, there is a Id or Key in the model? you need to use $expand to get the navigation property expand like: 

?$expand=Inspections,Inspectors

If you want them to by complex type, you need explicitly call like:

builder.ComplexType<Inspector>();
