Send a good response with parameters to identify
return response()->json([
'status' => true,
'message' => 'Registered Successfully',
'response_logs' => $error_logs_list
]);
In the above response, you can make conditional things on 'status'

User Registration with Sanctum for Laravel API
I cant help but notice that all guides I have come across on how to authenticate APIs using Sanctum, skip the user registration bit. Often users will be seeded or registered using the web flow and then the pre-existing users will be used to demonstrate the token and session capabilities of sanctum.
This presents an interesting challenge. Given that Sanctum automatically logs you in when you hit the register endpoint that it exposes, I cant send a second registration request to the endpoint since the guard will try to navigate me to a home page, which is simply not ideal for APIs.
How then do I go about, either or
- Responding with a more appropriate error message for APIs when I send multiple requests to the register endpoint when the session authentication is in effect
- Simply fail the registration with a validation error that the email already exists.

@kisiara Sanctum doesn’t have a registration endpoint? It’s literally a package for issuing tokens or doing stateful cookie authentication for SPAs. It doesn’t deal with anything else like registration or password resetting.

@martinbean I was looking at this from a wrong perspective. Thank you for the clarification. The register endpoint actually comes from Breeze
