Laravel Api response for one user

I wonder if this is possible, imagine that I have this reply on a laravel api when I call all the users, I wonder if it's possible just calling one of them and showing the information related to that user like public/api/users/1

I cannot find the words to search a reply for that, so sorry if its a repost.

{
    "id": 1,
    "nome": "a",
    "BI": 123,
    "morada": "1245"
},
{
    "id": 2,
    "nome": "b",
    "BI": 123456,
    "morada": "1p231p2oi3"
}

Calling just through public/api/users/1 gives me a blank page, that would supposed to be the id of the user right?

As a straightforward implementation of that, you could add to routes.php file:

Route::get("api/users/{id}", function($id) {
   return App\User::find($id); 
});

As of Laravel 5.2 framework also supports model binding:

Route::get('api/users/{user}', function (App\User $user) {
    return $user;
});

EDIT:

Outputing only certain attributes:

Route::get('api/users/{user}', function (App\User $user) {
   return response()->json([
      "id"   => (int) $user->id,
      "name" => $user->name
   ]);
});

I suggest using something like the below.

Route::get('api/users/{user}', function ($id) {
    $user = App\User::first($id);

    $content = [
       'id' => $user->id,
       'nome' => $user->nome,
       'BI' => $user->BI,
       'morada' => $user->morada
    ];

    return response($content, 200)
                  ->header('Content-Type', 'application/json');
});
