Laravel API Routes Not Found

Im new to API and Vue. Im working on Laravel 5.8 api.php and controllers and views and it only return 404 Not Found.

this is what ive tried

api.php

 Route::group(['middleware' => 'api'], function(){
    Route::resource('/dashboard/departments', 'DepartmentsController');
 });

Controller

class DepartmentsController extends Controller
{     
   public function index()
  {
  return 'hey';
  }
}

Route List

 GET|HEAD  | api/dashboard/departments                   | departments.index   | App\Http\Controllers\DepartmentsController@index                       | api,auth

i tried accessing it by /127.0.0.1:8000/api/dashboard/departments and /127.0.0.1:8000/dashboard/departments but both is not working.

Add this in your api.php file.

Route::group([
    'prefix' => 'api',
    'as' => 'api.'
    'middleware' => 'api'
 ], function(){
    Route::get('/dashboard/departments', 'DepartmentsController@index')->name('index');
 });

or you could do

Route::prefix('api')->name('api.')->middleware('api')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/dashboard/departments', 'DepartmentsController@index')->name('index');
});

both work the same way.

For latest laravel version (11.19) make sure you have api: __DIR__.'/../routes/api.php', parameter in bootstrap/app.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Exceptions;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware;

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withRouting(
        web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php',
        api: __DIR__.'/../routes/api.php',
        commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php',
        health: '/up',
    )
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        //
    })
    ->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
        //
    })->create();

It started working for me just after I executed php artisan install:api which is adding some migration, packages and also modifying this file.

Remember that routes declared in api.php will automatically prepend the /api prefix, e.g.:

Route::get('/hello', ...)

axios.get('/api/hello')

If you are using a REST Client (Imsomnia, Postman) you need to check if you are accepting a JSON response. Place a header in the request named "Accept" and "application/json" as value.

Header "Accept" with the "application/json" value

If the requested route has validations (and you are not sending the header), your response will be the root page (or a 404 Error if you don't have the route in routes/web.php).

To run laravel project "replace the host with yours" :

php artisan serve --host 10.11.222.33 --port 8000

or possible also this way

php artisan serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000

and then call the API

http://10.11.222.33:8000/api/departments

For anyone still wondering, or it just me. This is what i did after many trials.

i remove the route::group from my API.php and the prefix('api') from RouteServiceProvider.php and replace it with middleware('web')

this is my RouteServiceProvider.php file

protected function mapApiRoutes()
{
    Route::middleware('api')
        ->middleware('web')
        ->namespace($this->namespace)
        ->group(base_path('routes/api.php'));
}

and this is my api.php file

Route::resource('/dashboard/departments', 'DepartmentsController');

Your API routes are within the api middleware which requires authentication of type API. If you check out the API Authentication documentation you need to have API tokens set up and passed in with your request.

You either need to pass the token in with your request, remove the api middleware and have your API routes be unauthenticated, or move the routes that you need to access via browser out of the api middleware and into the web middleware and routes file.

Just add public in url before api.

Like 

/127.0.0.1:8000/public/api/dashboard/departments
