How to consume web API in the same solution?

I have two projects (.Net Core 3.1) in the same solution, the first one called "BackEnd" is a Web API and the second "FrontEnd" is a web application MVC.

My problem is the Web API Port because it changes everytime I restart my PC or use another Computer and I have to change the port in FrontEnd to keep consuming the API.

Is there a way to get the port of the Web API programmally?

If both projects are in the same solution you can open "Properties" of the solution and in "Startup Project" tab select "Multiple Start Projects" and select both - "Back End" and "Front End" Projects. And an Api project "Properties", select "Debug" and if needed change the port number next to APP URL. That's it.

Open launchSettings.jsonand specify the port in applicationUrl for configuration that you use

{
  "iisSettings": {
    "windowsAuthentication": false,
    "anonymousAuthentication": true,
    "iisExpress": {
      "applicationUrl": "http://localhost:10042",
      "sslPort": 44353
    }
  },
  "$schema": "http://json.schemastore.org/launchsettings.json",
  "profiles": {
    "IIS Express": {
      "commandName": "IISExpress",
      "launchBrowser": true,
      "environmentVariables": {
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development"
      }
    },
    "BackEnd": {
      "commandName": "Project",
      "launchBrowser": true,
      "environmentVariables": {
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development"
      },
      "applicationUrl": "https://localhost:10040;http://localhost:10041"
    }
  }
}

or in Visual Studio, right-click on the project -> Properties, click on Debug and change the port number next to APP URL under the Web Server Settings
