Ajax not working after deploying to Azure - ajax

Question

I am developing a web application using ASP.NET MVC Core. Everything works perfect on my local machine but whenever I deploy to Azure the Ajax calls always get a 404 Not Found.
Here's a snippet of one controller method:
[HttpGet]
public JsonResult GetPublicHolidays()
{
var events = adminService.GetPublicHolidays();
return new JsonResult(events);
}
And here's the Ajax call:
$.getJSON('#Url.Action("GetPublicHolidays","Admin")',

By default, the URL to an action in an ASP.NET Controller is not the name of the method. There's a lot going on by convention in ASP.NET.
As an example, this is a default ASP.NET Core API controller:
[Route("api/[controller]")]
[ApiController]
public class ValuesController : ControllerBase
{
// GET api/values
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult<IEnumerable<string>> Get()
{
return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
}
}
As you can see in the comment, the route is <baseUrl>/api/values. This route is comprised of the base URL, the api prefix and the name of the controller. Because you add a HttpGetAttribute, ASP.NET knows that is the Get method.
So, considering this controller:
public class RandomController : ControllerBase
{
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult<IEnumerable<string>> WhateverWeirdMethodName()
{
return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
}
}
The URL for the GET request would be <baseUrl>/api/random
