If you want to automatically map URL path segments to parameters in your action you can use routing to define how that mapping happens. There’s a tutorial available here: http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/web-api-routing-and-actions/routing-in-aspnet-web-api

In your case you could have a route like so:

routes.MapHttpRoute(
  name: "My custom route",
  routeTemplate: "api/sample/{part1}/{part2}/{part3}"
);

Then you could have this action method:

public HttpResponseMessage Get(string part1, string part2, string part3) {
   ...
}
