WebApi Custom Routing in dotnet Core

In dotnet core, I'm trying to create a webapi endpoint that have a value before the controller name. ex:

template: "api/{AccountId}/[controller]"

endpoint "api/435ABC/Reports/EndOfYear"

I've seen many examples on how to do this in MVC and in Framework 4.x, but not many with WebApi and where I set a parameter before the controller name.

In attribute routing you should change your controller route to [Route("api")] to accept all calls from https://example.com/api.

Note: it will affect all routes inside the Reports controller.

[Route("api")]
public class ReportsController : ApiController

and then decorate your action with route attribute like below:

[Route("{id}/[controller]/[action]")]

this way you can call your action method with https://example.com/api/435ABC/Reports/EndOfYear.

In convention-based routing you should only add route in UseMvc method and remove Route attributes from controller and action:

app.UseMvc(routes =>
{
    routes.MapRoute(name: "default", template: "api/{controller=Home}/{action=Index}"); // this line specifies default route
    routes.MapRoute(name: "Reports", template: "api/{id}/{controller=Reports}/{action=EndOfYear}"); // this line specifies your custom route
});
