Fix inconsistent error responses

Your API returns different JSON formats for different errors

This Laravel API starter kit handles all of that. Once.

What's included in this Laravel API boilerplate

Everything configured. Nothing to wire up manually.

Laravel Sanctum Authentication

Register, login, logout, token refresh, and authenticated user endpoint. Form requests and validation included.

Spatie Roles & Permissions

Pre-configured with Admin, Editor, User roles. Database seeders ready. Role middleware attached to protected routes.

API Rate Limiting

Per-user and per-IP throttling. Stricter limits for auth routes. Fully configurable in one config file.

Laravel API Versioning

Clean v1/v2 route and controller structure. Clients using v1 won't break when you ship v2.

Consistent JSON Error Handling

Global exception handler returns uniform JSON for validation errors, 404s, auth failures, and server exceptions.

Postman Collection Included

Pre-built requests for every endpoint with environment variables. Import and start testing in under a minute.
