REST api Get request in MVC when using a model as parameter

Question

If i have a rest api with a GET endpoint such as

\users

i also have a UserSearchModel class for example

public class UserSearchModel
{
  public string firstName {get;set;}
  public string lastName {get;set;}
  public string userCode {get;set;}
}

is it possible to have a controller action such as

public async... GetUsers(UserSearchModel searchParams)

without sending the data in request body, if i send in query string instead will the model binding still work?

If you send each properties as a query string yes
