Fix Laravel API 404s
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
My Laravel RESTful service is sitting behind nginx and a few specific endpoints are suddenly replying with 404 instead of the JSON data they should return. The odd thing is that the same routes work fine for POST and PUT, so I suspect our custom middleware—particularly the bit that checks the User-Agent header—is blocking or mis-routing GET requests.
Here is what I need you to do:
• Trace why those selected endpoints resolve to 404 under GET while other verbs succeed.
• Review and correct the custom middleware logic (including the User-Agent checks) so it no longer interferes with legitimate requests.
• Verify the corrected routes on nginx, confirming I get the expected JSON payload with a 200 status.
I’ll consider the job complete once I can hit every affected endpoint via GET, receive valid JSON responses, and see no unexpected errors in the nginx or Laravel logs.
