You Could Use API Resources
https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/eloquent-resources
Or You Could Casts The All Attributes You Want To It To Be Numeric In Your Model
protected $casts = [
'https',
'mode',
// And So On
];

PHP's json_encode has an flag for this: JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK i'am not sure what laravel uses for json encoding but there might be an option.
i would probably go for a parseInt() on the client side and take it like it is
edit: found it
return Response::json($data, 200, [], JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);
or even better
return response()->json($data)->setEncodingOptions(JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);
