I want to pass a mongodb ObjectId parameter to controller via the URL as string.
I know in MVC you can use ModelBinder.
How I can do that in ASP.NET WebApi 2.0?

For using ObjectId type in controller like this:
[Route("{id}")]
public IHttpActionResult Get(ObjectId id)
see my answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/47107413/908936

ASP.NET Web API has the same detault route principle as MVC.
To be able to pass a value that is mapped directly then to your parameter, just match the property in query string to your method parameter name:
Call done to: {yourserver}/api/valuesasparam/call?myparam=498574395734958
Your ApiController:
public class ValuesAsParamController : ApiController
{
[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<string> Call(string myparam)
{
// Do something with your 'myparam' value
}
}
Update:
If you will to get directly the value as an ObjectId, check here for Model binding. and the follwing code to convert your string to an ObjectId:
MongoDB.Bson.ObjectId.Parse(myparam);

I don't want to convert the parameter in the controller, I want to set the parameter as ObjectId and it will automatically convert the string to ObjectId

The way to do it is to bulid up a ModelBinder to transform the string to ObjectId, check my post update
