Here's my url

https://localhost:00000/api/Details?Id=1

how to make it not start with local host https://localhost:00000
i want it to be exactly like this /api/Details?Id=1

What I have tried:

Here's my register Method:

public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
        {
            // Web API configuration and services

            // Web API routes
            config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();

            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "DefaultApi",
                routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
                defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
            );
        }

and here's my controller method

[HttpGet]
    [Route("api/Details", Name = "GetDetails")]
    public IHttpActionResult GetDetails([FromUri] IdReq _request)
    {
        return Ok("test")
    }

You don't.

Those are necessary portions of the URL to tell the browser what protocol to use (HTTPs, FTP, Gopher), the domain go to (localhost), as well as what port number (00000) to use

Once it gets to localhost:0000, then it is your web applications reponsibility to handle the request for "/api/Details?Id=1"

Once you publish the website, whatever domain name you are using will replace the localhost portion of the URL and as long as you go to the standard port for the protocol (http:80 / 443: https) then the port information (0000) will not be in the URL.
