Laravel API help

[Pasindu Mihirantha]

I have a set of currently working routes on Laravel. I want to make RESTFUL API for scaling for android front end. How do I convert my existing web.php into api.php?
As a example what are the routes should be be there in api.php for laravel default AUTH.
I just want to call my existing routes by POSTMAN

If you need to secure login for your mobile app then you have to use Laravel / Passport.

What is Laravel Passport?

---

APIs typically use tokens to authenticate users and do not maintain session state between requests. Laravel makes API authentication a breeze using Laravel Passport, which provides a full OAuth2 server implementation for your Laravel application in a matter of minutes. learn more

What are the routes should be there in api.php

---

1. Login
2. Register
3. Other Routes on your application

ex : post/topic, get/topic, edit/topic

Simply get all logics and replace all return views with json response.

If you looking for a basic login and create a basic API you can use Laravel Built-In Token Auth (No Package Required)
