There seems to be a lot of confusion about the JSON API that ships with Passport: laravel/passport#839 laravel/passport#371 laravel/passport#842 The JSON API is guarded by the web and auth middlewares which means that they can only be consumed by the application they're implemented in. In most situations this works well but when you try to consume the API externally or from a subdomain it becomes cumbersome. It would be better if the JSON API would behave as an actual api without having to go through all of the web middlewares and just use the auth:api middleware for authentication. There's a feature request open for this: laravel/passport#379 In the meantime we can add some clarification to the docs for people struggling with this.
