Answer 1

This happens primarily because of validation issues of API as the Laravel validator sends back to the same URL, Like in this case, it is redirecting back to the login route by the GET method so it's saying you method not allowed.

For this issue, you need to change Postman settings where you need to uncheck Automatically follow redirects to off.

Answer 2

If you're making the request from a tool like Postman or curl, ensure that you include the Accept: application/json header in your request. This informs Laravel to respond with JSON.
