Answer 1

In your handler.php This should work for handling 404 Exception.

public function render($request, Throwable $exception ){
    if ($exception instanceof ModelNotFoundException) {
        return response()->json([
            'error' => 'Data not found'
        ], 404);
    }
    return parent::render($request, $exception);
}
