In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through setting up versioned endpoints, configuring dependency services, and integrating Swagger to test your REST API efficiently. Whether you’re new to .NET Core Web API or looking for best practices on API versioning in ASP.NET Core, this video will give you a complete foundation. We’ll start by installing the required NuGet libraries, including Asp.Versioning.Http and Asp.Versioning.Mvc.ApiExplorer, and then create separate endpoint folders for v1 and v2. You’ll learn how to configure URL-based versioning, explore multiple API Version Reader options (query string, headers, and media type), and see how default versions work when the version isn’t specified. Finally, I’ll demonstrate Swagger integration so you can easily test multiple versions of your .NET API in one place. By the end of this video, you’ll not only understand REST API versioning techniques in ASP.NET Core Minimal API, but also learn how to follow API versioning best practices for building scalable and maintainable .NET applications.
