The gist is, my I was requested to make an ASP.NET Web API backend for an app, but the website that the person will be hosting it on already has a wordpress site configured. Is there any way to host that api under thesite.com/webapi, for example, with that specific hosting?
The thing is, I'm not familiar with how WordPress is handling its URL routing, I don't have access to the control panel to experiment and without direct access to IIS Management Console I basically have no clue what to do.
Or maybe, if not that, would it be possible to set up a this API on some random port with that hosting? I.e. mysite.com:8001
In my opinion, it is better to create a subdomain for your API like webapi.thesite.com because then you won't need to configure your WP site not to catch requests for thesite.com/webapi and with this solution you won't need to do anything except registering a new subdomain
