Simple examples to create api on windows

If you do not need a web API then probably you just need to create a Class Library project.

What type of application would be using the API?

Hello

Check the below steps to create API:

1. Create a Web API Project using Visual Studio.
2. Create API Controller.
3. Add the below code to the controller to get data.
    

   using System.Net;
   using System.Net.Http;
   using System.Web.Http;
   namespace WebAPI.Controllers {
       public class DemoController: ApiController {
           public string Get() {
               return "Welcome To Web API";
           }
           public List < string > Get(int Id) {
               return new List < string > {
                   "Data1",
                   "Data2"
               };
           }
       }
   }

4. Call API using below URL
