NET Core Web API Guide
[Link] Core Web API is a framework for building RESTful services using the [Link] Core platform.
It allows developers to expose endpoints that can be consumed by clients such as mobile apps, web apps,
and other services.
Getting Started
- Install .NET 8 SDK from [Link]
- Create a new API project:
dotnet new webapi -n MyApiApp
- Run the project:
cd MyApiApp
dotnet run
Project Structure
- [Link]: Entry point, middleware configuration
- Controllers/: Where your API controllers live
- [Link]: Configuration file
Creating a Simple Controller
[ApiController]
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class ProductsController : ControllerBase
[HttpGet]
public IActionResult Get() => Ok(new[] { "Item1", "Item2" });
Model Binding
[Link] Core supports binding data from the request using attributes like:
- [FromQuery]
- [FromBody]

[Link] Core Web API Guide
- [FromRoute]
- [FromHeader]
Dependency Injection
Services are added in [Link]:
[Link]<IProductService, ProductService>();
Injected into controllers:
public ProductsController(IProductService productService) { ... }
Middleware
Common middlewares include:
- UseRouting()
- UseAuthentication()
- UseAuthorization()
Versioning
Add API versioning via NuGet:
dotnet add package [Link]
Configure in [Link]:
[Link](opt => {
[Link] = new ApiVersion(1, 0);
[Link] = true;
});
Swagger Documentation
Add Swagger via [Link]:
dotnet add package [Link]
In [Link]:
[Link]();
[Link]();

Security
- Use HTTPS
- Apply [Authorize] attribute
- Use JWT or OAuth2 for token-based authentication
Conclusion
[Link] Core Web API provides a fast, scalable way to build modern web services. Combine it with EF
Core, Swagger, and good architecture practices for best results.
