How to use laravel cookies on api routes

Question

I need to read laravel cookies on api routes, but the middleware doesn't give me this option. When i read the cookie, it's encrypted. Can you help me telling how can I work with cookies on api side? I'm creating the cookie for the user on my controller like this

$cookieParams = cookie("params|{$campaign}", "{$campaign->id}{$utm_content}", 2628000);

Now I'm trying to read the cookie when I access an api route, on api.php

Route::get('/testando', 'API\Checkout\ApiCheckoutController@teste');

And the Controller

public function teste()
{

    # Verificamos cookies de campanha para o produto do checkout
    $cookie = Cookie::get("params|2920649");
    
    return $cookie;
}

And the return is encrypted

PS: When I access an route from web.php the cookie works just fine, it's not encrypted.

What does your code look like? How are you setting the cookie? how are you trying to read the cookie? Have you tried the syntax described at https://laravel.com/docs/master/requests#cookies ? — James Clark, Feb 25 '21 at 14:59
@MiqayelSrapionyan Yes, I tried to add the AddQueuedCookiesToResponse middleware but it makes no difference — Camilo Moreira, Feb 25 '21 at 17:23
@JamesClarkDeveloper I have updated the question, can you please take another look? — Camilo Moreira, Feb 25 '21 at 17:23

I solved the problem by using the web middleware inside api.php, like this:

Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () {Route::get('/testando', 'API\Checkout\ApiCheckoutController@teste');});

As the web middleware has the AddQueuedCookiesToResponse class, I could read the cookie perfectly
