title: MVC Web API in SharePoint site
body: <p>We're moving most of our web presence to our SharePoint server in the cloud. Our current setup uses a MVC Web API for data retrieval from DB. We do not want to host the API under a separate domain and thus need to move the API under SharePoint domain as well. There is no relaxation in this requirement.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to publish my API to SharePoint? Or is there a SharePoint specific API project template in Visual Studio? If not what are my options?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong> Initially I have asked that MVC API needs to be part of the SharePoint 2013. But now things are such that API can reside anywhere - inside or outside - of SharePoint, as long as it is accessible from the root domain - which so far it seems not allowed (Error message:  <strong>Calls to WebProxy without an app context are not allowed.</strong>"). Still trying to see if this is possible, and if yes, how?</p>
