Laravel Framework API Tutorials
When making API calls to Laravel when a user who is not authenticated makes a call a 401 status code is returned and the following response:
{"message":"Unauthenticated."}
Which I find a little strange it's an error so message should say error in my opinion.
This can easily be changed by adding a customer unauthenticated method to app/Exceptions/Handler.php:
protected function unauthenticated($request, AuthenticationException $exception)
{
if ($request->expectsJson()) {
return response()->json(['error' => 'Unauthenticated.'], 401);
}
return redirect()->guest('login');
}
Now the response will say error instead of message.
