Answer 1

I hope it will work.

$request->file('identity_cards.0.image');

Answer 2

Object and array use different operators. For your case, you can use this

$request->file('identity_cards[0]->image');

So if your data like this:

"identity_cards": [
  {
            "document_category_id": "1",
            "number": "1283712",
            "exp_date": "2020-11-20",
            "image": {
                url: "blablabla.com"
            }
  }

How to access url? just modify it.

$request->file('identity_cards[0]->image->url');
