How to detect request came from either web or api route files?

I have two similar routes inside both routes/api.php and routes/web.php files:

// routes/api.php
Route::middleware('auth:api')->get('running-server-processes', 'ServerProcessesController@running_list');

// routes/web.php
Route::middleware('auth')->get('running-server-processes', 'ServerProcessesController@running_list');

Also here is the called method:

public function running_list(Request $request){
    dd(request()->wantsJson());
    //=> false
}

The output is always false. I mean in both cases, when I call it by a browser (web) and when I call it through the postman (API). Why? How can I separate them?

When you send your request via postman, do you set the `accept` header to say you expect `json`? – Peppermintology Oct 23 '20 at 16:24
No, I have to do that? Or `auth:api` does that thing? @Unflux – Martin AJ Oct 23 '20 at 16:39
You should have different endpoints for API calls anyway... – miken32 Oct 23 '20 at 20:11
