Web API - Default Routing for web URL

I have a net web API set up. The URL I want to route to is https://localhost:44378, but Web API forces me to use https://localhost:44378/api/status.

How do I set up a default so if any traffic comes in at https://localhost:44378? redirects to the same code as https://localhost:44378/api/status?

I have tried to use * as the routing default

You should have a WebApiConfig.cs in the App_Start folder of your application.

    public static class WebApiConfig
    {
        public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
        {

            .......

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

Try removing "api" from the routeTemplate.

For .net core web api, the default is a Route attribute in the controller.

If I use the template to create a Web Api in .Core it gives me a ValuesController.

namespace CoreApi.Controllers
{
    [Route("api/[controller]")]
    [ApiController]
    public class ValuesController : ControllerBase
    {

Just change the route attribute and remove api

        [Route("[controller]")]
