Laravel API?
So Im okay with vanilla php at making an API, its pretty simple stuff, but i cannot find anywhere after a long search around google how to send an API request TO laravel, as they're all explain how to send FROM laravel. for instance i have connected status tiny api like below
Route::get('streams/status/{stream}', 'streamController@streamStatus');
this is a really really simple starter for me for an API, all this returns is 1 or a 0 1 being connected, 0 being disconnected.
this is sat behind the api middleware.
lets say for example how would i send a request to this from a vanilla php script?
I know the curl processes so im sure if you just point me in the right way i'll wobble down the right route :)

Yeh i know to use guzzle that not an issue :) but more like how do i authenticate to get the things from the page, is it just general OAuth?

@mooseh Stateless authentication is the preferred solution. Unless you need an oauth solution try jwt-auth for starters

I guess so - passport is the new built in option. Or jwt tokens for a simpler option.
Edit: beaten to it again ;-)

could someone point me in the right place for "passport" authentication? the problem is I wont have any issues building the API, but what i need to know is how someone would authenticate to laravel's api middleware :D
