One of the properties of the ApiController base class (from which your own controller must be derived) is called Request:
// Summary:
// Defines properties and methods for API controller.
public abstract class ApiController : IHttpController, IDisposable
{
// ...
//
// Summary:
// Gets or sets the HttpRequestMessage of the current System.Web.Http.ApiController.
//
// Returns:
// The HttpRequestMessage of the current System.Web.Http.ApiController.
public HttpRequestMessage Request { get; set; }
// ...
}
This gives you access to the HttpRequestMessage which has the following method:
//
// Summary:
// Gets or sets the System.Uri used for the HTTP request.
//
// Returns:
// Returns System.Uri.The System.Uri used for the HTTP request.
public Uri RequestUri { get; set; }
Use the Request.RequestUri to get the URL of the current action. It will return you a Uri object that gives you access to every part of the request's URI.
Finally, you might find the following SO question useful:

Request.RequestUri.ToString();
On MVC this can be:
Request.Url.ToString();
See also:
Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority);
and
Request.RequestUri.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority);
Both will return, for example:
