I need to get URL of requesting web site in My WEB API 2. I need to do this because of security. I want to response to the request which are coming from the URLs that are registered on my server.

In Web API I have used

1) Owin
2) OAuth 2.0

So far I have tried to get it from owin context and http context but no one gives URL. I am able to get IP address of the requesting web site.

Any idea how can I achieve this?

Yeah, you're trying to mine DNS data out of an HTTP packet, that's not going to work.

You're going to need to make a DNS request for each packet (unless you have sessions implemented, but that would sort of defeat the purpose of WebAPI).

I guess you could add a database table that maps IPs to URLs and update it periodically. Whatever floats your boat.

Have a look at Dns.GetHostEntry():
