According to NewRelic's .NET Api, you can do this with

NewRelic.Api.Agent.NewRelic.NoticeError(ex);

where ex is an Exception.

In order to do this across all WebApi as an ExceptionLogger to log errors into New Relic

Add the following class to your project

public class NewRelicExceptionLogger : ExceptionLogger
{
    public override void Log(ExceptionLoggerContext context)
    {
        NewRelic.Api.Agent.NewRelic.NoticeError(context.ExceptionContext.Exception);
    }
}

and register it Global.asax.cs under Application_Start():

protected void Application_Start()
{
    //...
    GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Services.Add(typeof(IExceptionLogger), new NewRelicExceptionLogger());

}
