In ASP.NET MVC , one can access the form post data:
var thisData = Request.Form["this.data"];
Is it possible to achieve the same functionality in a Web API ApiController?

If you just have an HttpRequestMessage, you have a couple of options:
By referencing System.Net.Http.Formatting, you can use the ReadAsFormDataAsync() extension method.
var formData = await message.Content.ReadAsFormDataAsync();
If you don't want to include that library, you can do the same thing manually by using the HttpUtility helper class in System.Web.
public async Task<NameValueCollection> ParseFormDataAsync(HttpRequestMessage message)
{
string formString = await message.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var formData = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(formString);
return formData;
}
