Hi Dmitry,
How are you doing.
Check controllers folder. There should be blahController.cs files there (hoping it is not VB.net but C#). Open them and check the Route annotation tags, something like:
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class BlahController : Controller
then within that you would also see HttpGet , HttpPost ... tags. Like:
[HttpGet("{id}")]
public < returntype > MyMethod(int id) {...}
That would mean, when someone makes a GET request with the path
api/BlahController/1
as an example, they are hitting that controller's given method with 1 as parameter.
Note: You can use tools like Postman to generate and test your api calls.
