Laravel 4 - error 405 on RESTful DELETE

I've a route defined as below:

Route::resource('api/invoice', 'InvoiceController');

In my controller I have a function destroy($id)

When sending a DELETE request to /api/invoice with an id: 2 as parameter and I get a 405 error message back. I tried accessing this route from Postman and from a javascript code directly, without success...

Any ideas?

405 error was returned because the request URL wasn't matching the DELETE URI:

Expected destroy URI: DELETE api/invoice/{invoice} Used destroy URI: DELETE api/invoice?id=1

As simple as that...

You said I get a 405 error and that is because of wrong HTTP Method, in your Resource Controller you have the destroy method and in this case this method is accessible using a DELETE request. So make sure you are sending a DELETE request for this.

You may run the following command from your terminal/command prompt:

php artisan routes

It'll output the routes with their names and URL so find the route and check the request method and URL to access that method. Check HTTP Error 405 Method not allowed for more information. If you are using JavaScript/AJAX to invoke the destroy method then, check this answer.
