How to get response in JSON form instead of string using curl ?

I've also tried curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:application/json'));

You could try the following Laravel 5.3+:

public function index(Request $request) {
...
if($request->expectsJson()) {
  return response()->json($data);
}
...
}

It looks like the function is wantsJson is Laravel 5.0-5.2
