How to prevent a HttpUnauthorizedResult(401) from redirecting to login controller on my Api endpoint

Question

I have a web application which provides an API in addition to the actual website. I have forms authentication enabled in my application...

Now my problem is in my API endpoints returning a HttpUnauthorizedResult redirects me to the login page....

How can I prevent the redirection from happening and just have a 401 status returned?
