How can I make a method with two parameters using ASP.NET Web Api?
So that I can call it like localhost/controller/param1/param2

You can also call the url with specific params names in the querystring:
/api/actions?param1=5¶m2=1/1/2000
Then the controller method would be:
GetByParams(int param1, DateTime param2)

This is the better answer. The accepted answer works, but the URL doesn't make as much sense. /id/name works out to something like this for a URL: mysite/api/DoStuff/12345/Vince. That doesn't make much sense. Like "Vince" is some item in the "12345" category. mysite/api/users/Vince makes a lot more sense or mysite/api/users?name=Vince&id=12345

Coul you provide a link to the official details about the GetByParams method? I have not been able to locate it. I have tested it, though, and it works as you described.
Just change or add route in global.asax
routes.MapHttpRoute(name: "DefaultApi1", routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}/{name}", Defaults: new{} );

I think the easiest way is to simply use AttributeRouting.
[Route("api/YOURCONTROLLER/{paramOne}/{paramTwo}")]
public string Get(int paramOne, int paramTwo) {
return "The [Route] with multiple params worked";
}
The {} names need to match your parameters.

Man I used this 1000 times, and always thought It was sort of a "hack" and there is better way. Seems like this is actually best practice..
