Cant access my api route but can access my web route

Good day techies, i had to work on a project, so i did php artisan route:list which i see all the route in the api route and which they all came out in this pattern prepcrm.test | GET|HEAD | v1/client/cycles | v1::client.tutor-cycles | App\Http\Controllers\V1\Client\ClientClassController@getCycleRecords | api,client,auth which the domain is prepcrm.test, so i created a virtual host in that domain name, and eveyrytime i make a request from postman, the response i got back is "The requested URL was not found on this server." so i wrote a small block of code to just output hello world in my api route and web route and try to access it using postman, the web route request works fine but the api route is "exception": "Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException".. have been on this for some days now, trying to make things work but to no futile.. What could have been done to not make the api route not working... Your contribution goes a long way. Thanks
