Prerequisites

  • Visual Studio 2019 for Mac installed with ASP.NET Core enabled.
  • An Azure Subscription. If you do not already have a subscription, sign up for free, which includes $200 in credit for 30 days and 12 months of popular free services.
  • An ASP.NET Core project. If you don't already have a project, you can create a new one.

Publish to Azure App Service

  1. In the Solution Window, right-click the project and choose Publish.

  2. If you have previously published this project to Azure App Service, you'll see the publish profile in the menu. Select that publish profile to start the publish process.

  3. To publish this project to App Service for the first time, select Publish to Azure

  4. The Publish to Azure App Service dialog appears, and any existing App Services are shown. To publish to an existing App Service, select the App Service in the list and then click Publish.

  5. To create a new App Service, click the New button.

  6. The New App Service dialog appears. In this dialog you can configure the settings for your new App Service.

    There are a few options to consider customizing here. The name of the App Service will default to the project name. If the name is not available a warning sign will appear on the right hand side of the input field. The name of the App Service will be used in the URL of your website, so the name must be valid to be used in a URL.

    You can change the subscription that the App Service will be associated with using the Subscription dropdown.

    You can select an existing Resource Group using the dropdown or you can create a new one with the + button.

    For the App Service plan, select an existing one, or create a new one by selecting the Custom radio button.

    To create your new App Service, and publish your project to it, click Create.

    After clicking Create the New App Service dialog will be dismissed, and you should see the following message indicating that creating the App Service has started.

    After clicking OK the message is dismissed, and you can continue working on your project. You can watch the status of the publish process with the status bar at the top of the IDE. Once your web app is successfully published, the site is opened with your default browser.

Before we understand what is Web API, let's see what is an API (Application Programing Interface).

As per Wikipedia's Definition of API: In computer programming, an application programming interface (API) is a set of subroutine definitions, protocols, and tools for building software and applications.

Visual Studio Api Tool

To put it in simple terms, API is some kind of interface which has a set of functions that allow programmers to access specific features or data of an application, operating system or other services.

Web API as the name suggests, is an API over the web which can be accessed using HTTP protocol. It is a concept and not a technology. We can build Web API using different technologies such as Java, .NET etc. For example, Twitter's REST APIs provide programmatic access to read and write data using which we can integrate twitter's capabilities into our own application.

ASP.NET Web API

The ASP.NET Web API is an extensible framework for building HTTP based services that can be accessed in different applications on different platforms such as web, windows, mobile etc. It works more or less the same way as ASP.NET MVC web application except that it sends data as a response instead of html view. It is like a webservice or WCF service but the exception is that it only supports HTTP protocol.
