Laravel Route for JSON Response Views

I have some views which return data of my Models with toJSON().

Is it possible (using 5.3) to make those unavaiable for normal users, but reachable for AJAX requests?

I've seen that there is an api.php routes-file but those seem to need the auth:api middlerwares, and I don't want them to need a api-key or something because the route is called by my application itself using twitter typeahead.

As @Mandeep Gill already mentioned you can check if the request is coming from ajax:

function myFunction() {
    if (!Request::ajax()) {
        return;
    }

    // Include logic here and define data
    $data = '';

    return response()->json($data, 200);
}

However, I'd suggest you to create a private API that your application can use.

Where you are returning result return like this :

if(\Request::ajax()) {

  return \Response::make(["data" => $data]); // return what you likes

} else {

  return view('test'); // For normal view not ajax request.

}
