Web API and WCF are not actually the same thing.
Web API is an open source for building REST ful services over the .NET Framework

Look at the difference between WCF and Web API

Hey I have gone thru the example it's just displaying all the products list in an XML format.

My concern is I have to share API with some of my clients so that the can send data using post Parameters

http://www.ss.com/dds/fr?data="xxx"&action="test"

Like in above data and action are two post parameters.

What i am trying is to create two different API's one for XML and another for HTTP.

This is a live HTTP api running

http://alert.smsactiva.com/api/sendhttp.php?authkey=YourAuthKey&mobiles=9999999999,919999999999&message=message&sender=senderid&route=1

I am trying to create same like dis

Can u plz help me on this....
