I had the same problem before. I solved it by including csrf_token as below

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: url,
    data: params ,
    beforeSend: function(jqXHR, settings) {
        jqXHR.setRequestHeader('X-CSRF-Token', $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content'));
    },
    error: function(){
        alert("An error ocurred");
    },
    success: function(){

    }
});
