Answer 1

In your route.php set below code

Route::group(['prefix' => API_PREFIX,'middleware' => 'auth.api'], function() 
{
 // Your Route
}

In your kernal.php set below middleware, it is good to use a diffrent middleware for api.

'auth.api' => \App\Http\Middleware\ApiAuthenticate::class,

Add new middleware ApiAuthenticate.php

class ApiAuthenticate
{
    public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = 'api')
    {
        if (\Auth::guard($guard)->guest()) {
            return response("Invalid user");
        }
        else {
            return $next($request);  
        }
        return $next($request);
    }
}
