You need to define a new route file, firstly add a new entry $this->mapApi2Routes(); in the map() function in app\Providers\RouteServiceProvider.

Then add a new function in that file, basically copying the mapApiRoutes() function, call it mapApi2Routes(). You can use different middleware etc. for the new file.

The last step would be adding a new file api2.php in the routes folder.
