Laravel API routes not working with Postman

Question

My route/api.php has these routes:

Route::post('/signup' , 'UserApiController@signup');
Route::post('/logout' , 'UserApiController@logout');
Route::post('/verify' , 'UserApiController@verify');

but when I'm trying to access from Postman like this, it shows object not found:

localhost/my_webiste/api/signup

here the userapicontroller signup function:

public function signup(Request $request)
{
    $this->validate($request, [
            'social_unique_id' => ['required_if:login_by,facebook,google','unique:users'],
            'device_type' => 'required|in:android,ios',
            'device_token' => 'required',
            'device_id' => 'required',
            'login_by' => 'required|in:manual,facebook,google',
            'first_name' => 'required|max:255',
            'last_name' => 'required|max:255',
            'email' => 'required|email|max:255|unique:users',
            'mobile' => 'required',
            'password' => 'required|min:6',
        ]);

    try{

        $User = $request->all();

        $User['payment_mode'] = 'CASH';
        $User['password'] = bcrypt($request->password);
        $User = User::create($User);

        return $User;
    } catch (Exception $e) {
         return response()->json(['error' => trans('api.something_went_wrong')], 500);
    }
}

here the postman output of post request of localhost/mywebsite/api/signup :

    <title>Object not found!</title>
    <link rev="made" href="mailto:postmaster@localhost" />
   <h1>Object not found!</h1>
   The requested URL was not found on this server.
   If you entered the URL manually please check your
spelling and try again.

Are you running your api with php artisan or inside apache? Usually when you run php artisan serve it is hosted in default port of 8000. So you need to use port number in postman. — InvincibleElf
@Nandan try the URL with the protocol http://localhost/mywebsite/api/signup — N69S

Make sure, in your postman, to add the header accept = application/json.
