Api Token is missing in laravel 4.2 api

I am solving issue in API of laravel 4.2 application. I downloaded project and setup in local. I signup using given email and password and it gives successfully logged in and throw api_token which is stored in database. Now if I use that API token in header it throws error:

{"status":false,"message":"Api Token is missing","code":"404"}

because it doesn't get api_token which is sent putting in header. If I try to die and dump that header it gives null.

It works fine in online server and recieves api_token, and everything works fine but if I try to work on same file in local it gives error. Please help me.

Header:

Accept : Application/json
api_token: ****************

it throws api_token as null if we try to catch it. The actual problem it throws is:

{"status":false,"message":"Api Token is missing","code":"404"}

Solution

  • You may try -(dash) instead of _(underscore) in the header name as:

    api-token: ****************

    And get it in laravel as:

    request()->header('api-token');
