you can define route path and name for web api methods. Using that route can access a API controller action if it is simple Get call and has Anonymous access.
For example:
Suppose this a method in your API controller:
[HttpGet,AllowAnonymous][Route("api/register")]
public void Register()
{
}
You can access it in the URL like: localhost/api/register from browser.This is a simple example to explain thing in simple terms. There are lot of other things involved accessing API methods depending upon various factors like security, requirements etc.

It Worked by accessing , localhost/Api/controllername/ManExport. Anyway thanks for your reply.
Already its predefined in Appstart/WebApiConfig.cs for WebApi controllers they were using like below.
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("DefaultApiWithId", "Api/{controller}/{id}", new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }, new { id = @"\d+" });
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("DefaultApiWithAction", "Api/{controller}/{action}");
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("DefaultApiGet", "Api/{controller}", new { action = "Get" }, new { httpMethod = new HttpMethodConstraint(HttpMethod.Get) });
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("DefaultApiPost", "Api/{controller}", new { action = "Post" }, new { httpMethod = new HttpMethodConstraint(HttpMethod.Post) });
