});

php artisan migrate

created table in database (webapimember) store Key – A345SJDK5

php artisan make:middleware APIkey

Created middleware(APIkey) in middleware folder

middleware/APIkey.php

apache_request_headers();
      $api_key = $headers['Authorization'];
        if ($api_key == '') {
          return redirect('/');
        } else { 

             // dd($headers);
            $users = DB::table('webapimember')->where('access_key', $api_key)->count();
            if ($users != 1) { 
              //return response("Invalid access key");
              return $this->sendError('Invalid access key.');
            } else { 
              return $next($request);
            }
        } 
    }
    public function apache_request_headers() {
        $headers = array();
        foreach($_SERVER as $key => $value) {
            if(substr($key, 0, 5) == 'HTTP_') {
                $headers[str_replace(' ', '-', ucwords(str_replace('_', ' ', strtolower(substr($key, 5)))))] = $value;
            }
        }
        return $headers;
    }
    public function sendError($error, $errorMessages = [], $code = 404)
    {
        $response = [
            'success' => false,
            'message' => $error,
        ];


        if(!empty($errorMessages)){
            $response['data'] = $errorMessages;
        }


        return response()->json($response, $code);
    }
}

Http/Kernel.php

protected $routeMiddleware = [
        //add your APIkey middleware
        'APIkey' => \App\Http\Middleware\APIkey::class,
    ];

Now we can change our route file one last time:

//API 

Route::get('membersubject', 'API\MemberController@getsubject')->middleware('APIkey');
Route::get('getdepartment', 'API\MemberController@getdepartment')->middleware('APIkey');
Route::get('/sub_category/get/{id}', 'API\MemberController@getsubdepartment')->middleware('APIkey');

php curl call

$apiKey = 'CD35Xsdjsd58slios123';
$api_url = 'https://www.pakainfo.com/';
$get_subject = RestfulAPI('get', $api_url.'membersubject', $data=null, $apiKey);
$subject_data = json_decode($get_subject,true);


$getdepartment = RestfulAPI('get', $api_url.'getdepartment', $data=null, $apiKey);
$category_data = json_decode($getdepartment,true);
print_r($category_data['message']);


function RestfulAPI($method, $url, $data, $apiKey){

    $curl = curl_init();

    switch ($method){
        case "POST":
            curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
            if ($data)
                curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
            break;
        case "PUT":
            curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
            if ($data)
                curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
            break;
        default:
            if ($data)
                $url = sprintf("%s?%s", $url, http_build_query($data));
    }

    // OPTIONS:
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
        'Authorization: '.$apiKey,
        'Content-Type: application/json',
    ));
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);

    // EXECUTE:
    $result = curl_exec($curl);
    //print_r($result);
    if(!$result){die("Connection Failure");}
    curl_close($curl);
    return $result;
}
