I have written a simple web API in the existing asp.net webforms project and published it on HostGator shared hosting.
 
API was working fine locally but not accessible after hosting.
 
Process how I created this API in My web forms project.
 
Step 1. I added a new Web API controller class to my Webform project by
             right-click on webform project ->Add->Web API Controller class.
 
Step 2 .Added some routing information to Application_Start () methof of global.asax file .
  1. GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);  
  2. public static class WebApiConfig  
  3. {  
  4. public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)  
  5. {  
  6. // Web API configuration and services  
  7. // Web API routes  
  8. config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();  
  9. config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(  
  10. name: "DefaultApi",  
  11. routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",  
  12. defaults: new { action = "GetRadarData", id = System.Web.Http.RouteParameter.Optional }  
  13. );  
  14. }  
  15. }  
Step 3: Adding code to the controller class for Get method.
  1. public IEnumerable<clsRadarInfoEnt> GetRadarData(string userId, string password)  
  2. {  
  3. string Response = "";  
  4. clsLibrary.mGetRadarList(userId, password, out RadarList, out Response);  
  5. if (RadarList == null && Response == "Invalid login")  
  6. {  
  7. var response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.NotFound)  
  8. {  
  9. Content = new StringContent("User doesn't exist", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "text/plain"),  
  10. StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.NotFound  
  11. };  
  12. throw new HttpResponseException(response);  
  13. }  
  14. else if (RadarList == null && Response == "Incorrect password")  
  15. {  
  16. var response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized)  
  17. {  
  18. Content = new StringContent("Incorrect Password", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "text/plain"),  
  19. StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.NotFound  
  20. };  
  21. throw new HttpResponseException(response);  
  22. }  
  23. else  
  24. {  
  25. return RadarList;  
  26. }  
  27. }  
It was working fine locally and giving the result as aspected but after hosting the website on Hostgator showing error
