Hide Url Data / Values in Route

Question

I'm trying to hide the data from begin watched in the url, For example here is my route :

 routes.MapRoute(
         "Viewer",
         "viewer/{id}",
         new { controller = "Viewer", action = "Index" }
        );

and here is the controller method:

public ActionResult Index(int id)
        {}

as you see when i call the method it's gonna route and show the url like this :

 www.domain.com/viewer/1234

I want to remove the Id from begin watched and i want keep the method running as expected like this

www.domain.com/viewer

So how i can do that ?

Since the URL passed with GET request, you cannot hide it because it's necessary to provide unique parameters in action name. Use URL rewriting, parameter encryption/hashing or SEO-friendly URL instead, depending on your choice. — Tetsuya Yamamoto, Nov 29 '18 at 01:12
Well the page is noindex , so there is no effect .. if there is a way to do that even using ajax please let me know ... thanks — Dummies EBooks, Nov 29 '18 at 01:18
How can that `id` parameter passed to the URL? Are you using `ActionLink` or something else inside the view to provide `id` parameter? If the URL coming from browser's address bar, certainly you need to use `id` parameter. — Tetsuya Yamamoto, Nov 29 '18 at 03:35

As you, Since you want to pass data with GET request, you have to send id or everything else that you can search and find that data. I suggest you hash URL. To hashing URL: url hash
