Good API tutorial for Laravel

Hi, I was going to watch this tutorial on how to build APIs on Laracast but it's been labeled archived.

Can someone please tell me of another place to get a good tutorial on API building? I don't know if i'm pushing my luck but is there a tutorial which kind of talks about unit testing on APIs as well? I know unit testing by the way.

I have already answered this at least five times in the last 2 days.

Jeffrey's search it's not as powerful as a Google search.

There is I don't know how many good answers on apis right here on the Forum already.

The trick to finding them is use Google.

Like

Laravel api
Laravel backend for api
Etc

Believe me good resources have been answered dozens of times.

Just recently there was a very lengthy discussion in fact, sorry I don't have that link.

Just thought I would share that tip because if you tried to search here you would not get nowhere near the number of results.

I'm kind of hoping Jeffrey will enhance the search functionality in the future.

Medium.com also has tutorials on apis.

Sorry for no link I don't visit that site no more because of a virustotal suspicion.

But I think it is a safe site it's only a suspicion.

@JLRDW - By the way, I did search Google & found some tutorials but was asking the community if there's a source they found really useful.

I mentioned medium.com also has tutorials on apis. I don't go to that site, but referenced quite a lot here.

I wish I had the link to the recent long discussion, I will try to find it.

Have you already viewed:

you dont need good api tutorials for laravel - you just need good resource to learn api development - after that you can create API with laravel as thats not the hard part.
