I am using passport package for Laravel API Authentication. When I post data I get error:

401 Unauthorized","error":{"error":"Unauthenticated."}.

I use Auth::user()->id; to get current user id.

How to solve this error?

Answer

This code helped me:

auth()->guard('api')->user()

for shortline syntax you can use something like this:

auth('api')->user()
