Laravel API not accepting JSON request from Postman

Question

Laravel API is not accepting JSON request. If I request as form-data it works but if I post JSON object in postman body then it does not receive the request data.

Route:

$router->group(['prefix' => 'imp'], function () use ($router) {
    $router->group(['prefix' => 'lead'], function () use ($router) {
        $router->post('/jardy', 'FeedController@jardy');
    });
});

Controller:

 public function jardy(Request $request)
    {

        $this->validate($request, [
            'api_key' => 'required',
        ]);
        $api_key = $request->input('api_key');
        return $api_key;
}

JSON Request:

Form data Request:

Why its not working in case of JSON, content-type is application/json, Accept:*/*???

does $request->validate([ 'api_key' => 'required' ]) work? — apokryfos
yes its working, when i use form-data it works. its like $this->validate($request, [ 'api_key' => 'required', ]);. You have nissed $request. — Imdad Ali
Can you try ->validate($request->all() instead of ->validate($request — Dilip Hirapara
``` validate ``` method expects Request object. It shows error when i modify like you are suggesting. @Dilip Hirapara — Imdad Ali
Notice I am using the validate method on $request not on $this — apokryfos

Comments are not permitted in JSON. There's a bug in the field Body -> raw -> json
