How can I use the SSL while building a SOAP API?

I currently build a simple SOAP API in C#.
More specifically I just use the sample of the Visual Studio Project when it creates a WCF App, this is why I do not provide any code as it is the standard code.

How can I make the requests to require SSL Protocol when the clients make any Requests?

I have used this documentation to make the API , getting-started-tutorial.

The simplest way to achieve a secure connection is to put HTTPS instead of HTTP:

Uri address = new Uri("https://example.com");

You can find more details here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/network-programming/using-secure-sockets-layer

If the URI begins with "https:", SSL is used; if the URI begins with "http:", an unencrypted connection is used.

WCF service as any other web resource is usually managed and hosted by the webserver. So, your task will be divided into two parts:

  1. Configuration of the WCF service
  2. Configuration of IIS

Better explained in this article: How to: Configure an IIS-hosted WCF service with SSL
