How to get current user in Laravel API using Passport?

Question

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 1

This code helped me:

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

Answer 2

The simplest format is auth('api')->user();

Answer 3

When you use Auth::user()->id in your function's body. You have not logged in before. Please call login api first to get token then set it to the next API call.
