Assuming you are using Valet;

Open postman
Create new request
Set request type (get, post, etc..)
Set request url: http://your-app.test/api/my-custom-api-url

Note: Sure it's open to the public

If you want to send a request to an authorized backend, you need to use auth middleware.

Sanctum Documentation; https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/sanctum

Sanctum Tutorial: https://laracasts.com/series/whats-new-in-laravel-7/episodes/6

sample:

Route::get('my-custom-api-url', function(Request $request, Configuration $configuration){
	return response()->json([
		"message" => "success",
		"request" => $request->all(),
		"configuration" => $configuration
	], 200);
})->middleware("auth");

In this case, you will prevent unauthorized requests.

Thank you so much for reply it helped. but i still have a question. i think i need a post request. Because iam building a converter. i want to get the data(json) that needs to be converted to xml from a externe api.

( i currently have it like this)

in my api/route

Route::post('MyCustomApiUrl', ApiController::class);

and i this is the methode i want to use to convert json to xml from the requested url(route).

so i want to be able to get the data from a externe api and convert the xml using my api call.

// i think it looks like this but not sure.

   public function index()
     {
 
    $data= data;

    $result = ArrayToXml::convert($data, 'config', true, 'UTF-8');

    return response($result)->header('Content-Type', 'text/xml');

    }
