In order to use API authentication you need to install and configure Laravel Passport which uses OAuth to authenticate all clients with a bearer token.

Check this page in the docs: https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/passport

EDIT: Note that you cannot test these routes in a web browser, and you should use tools like Postman.
