Saillesh Pawar · Answer

I believe you can consume web api with in WSDL but you have to make call to the web api methods using http web client like below: using (var client = new HttpClient()) { client.BaseAddress = new Uri(http://localhost:9900/); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear(); client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue(application/json)); HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(api/Customer/1); if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode) { //repsonse var customer = await response.Content.ReadAsAsync > Customer > (); } }

No you cannot consume a Web API within the WSDL. WSDL being a webservice description language for SOAP based service like WCF or Legacy Webservice using ASMX. Where as WebAPI does not have a WSDL it's purely REST based. These two are different technologies all together.
