Creating Rest API Laravel (Showing 404)

Question

I created a Laravel Api-rest, but when i'm accessing the api endpoint it's responding me 404 not found. I added the endpoint in api.php

The url that I'm accessing is localhost:8000/api/my_first_api but the browser returns 404 not found.

Route::get('my_first_api',
   'HomeController@my_first_api')>name('my_first_api');

HomeController.php :

public function my_first_api()
{
   $home_content = DB::select('SELECT * FROM content_structure WHERE content_pages = ? ',[
        'Home'
   ]);

    return response()->json(array(['data' => $home_content]));
}

RouteServiceProvider.php :

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


}

My Route List:

If you are using `laravel-5.5` then you need to use `laravel resource api` https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/eloquent-resources — Ayaz Ali Shah, Dec 12 '18 at 05:36
@AyazShah is that recommended to use eloquent rather than query builder? — DevGe, Dec 12 '18 at 05:37
You can use both of them but eloquent would be good approach — Ayaz Ali Shah, Dec 12 '18 at 05:39
ok, but i try first the builder to test if it's working.. do you have idea why is not working for that? — DevGe, Dec 12 '18 at 05:41
try `php artisan route:list` command and see if your route is there — Haseeb Zulfiqar, Dec 12 '18 at 05:44
GET|HEAD | api/my_first_api | my_first_api | App\Http\Controllers\HomeController@my_first_api — DevGe, Dec 12 '18 at 05:47
@vpalade yes ... i tried to access localhost:8000/api/my_first_api, but when i press enter, it goes to route of login.. — DevGe, Dec 12 '18 at 07:55
the route of web.php is working , however the api.php is not working. — DevGe, Dec 12 '18 at 07:57
@vpalade, do you mean if i use the auth middleware the api route will be not working?? — DevGe, Dec 12 '18 at 08:10

Please Check Your Code

 Route::get('my_first_api',
   'HomeController@my_first_api')->name('my_first_api');

And Just add public in url before api.

localhost:8000/public/api/my_first_api
