There is a no way to do this via Laravel Cache library. But you can try to get the keys directly from the cache storage (filesystem, memcached, etc.)

Assuming you are using the (default) file cache driver, there is no way to get the cache keys, since they are not actually stored.

The key is used to derive a file path, but it's not actually stored.

From the source:

public function put($key, $value, $seconds)
{
    $this->ensureCacheDirectoryExists($path = $this->path($key));

    $result = $this->files->put(
        $path, $this->expiration($seconds).serialize($value), true
    );

    if ($result !== false && $result > 0) {
        $this->ensurePermissionsAreCorrect($path);

        return true;
    }

    return false;
}
