asp.net mvc - Routing, hitting wrong action -

i have 2 actions, , whenever explicitly call second one, first 1 still gets called. need able write in mysite.com/api/awesome/getsomeexamples, without triggering getallclasses

public class awesomecontroller : controller {    public ienumerable<myclass> getallclasses()    {       //...some stuff    }    public ienumerable<string> getsomeexamples()    {        //...some stuff    }      //... have more actions take in 1 parameter } 

my routing such, not working

 public static void registerroutes(routecollection routes)         {             routes.ignoreroute("{resource}.axd/{*pathinfo}");              routes.maproute(                 name: "actionapi",                 url: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",                 defaults: new { id = urlparameter.optional }             );             routes.maproute(                 name: "default",                 url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",                 defaults: new { controller = "home", action = "index", id = urlparameter.optional }             );         } 

error getting: multiple actions found match request

you using web api.

the difference normal mvc actions web api looks @ http verb determine action call. in case have 2 methods start get

however, should trigger error: multiple actions found match request... , shouldn't call both actions.

the url need is:

mysite.com/api/awesome/ 

from there, web api call method starts get. need remove other method , put in different controller. web api supposes have 1 action per http verb
