Nintex webrequest action to a provider hosted app

Hi community, 

 

I would like to setup a Provider Hosted App/API on Azure so that Nintex workflow's web request action can call it.  I would of course install this PHA as an Add-In in SharePoint online.

 

The Provider Hosted App's purpose will be to hash a file in a SharePoint Online document library.

 

I'm thinking of securing the Provider Hosted App with only the SharePointContextFilter (and not Azure AD).  I'm figuring since the PHA will already have a clientId/Secret registered in AzureControlServices, why introduce another clientId/Secret from AAD.

 

 Do  I need to setup up this PHA as an web API in order for the web requestion action to hit it?  The reason I ask is because if I leave it as an MVC web app , then I wouldn't have to tinker with the SharePointContextFilter class.  

 

Anyone ever attempt something similar? perhaps the legendary @TomaszPoszytek or @milan_chaloupka could chime in
