Where are Laravel Passport access tokens stored?

Question

When I request an access token at oauth/token using the password grant, I get a token back. However this token is the same every time and doesn't match any token in the database. Where are these tokens stored? And how can I use this token to retrieve my user data in an AJAX call?

After installing passport. you need to run command php artisan migrate. this command will create 4 tables.

oauth_access_tokens
oauth_auth_codes
oauth_personal_access_clients
oauth_refresh_tokens

PASSPORT ACCESS TOKENS ARE STORED IN oauth_access_tokens table. in this table id column is used to store token.

The token generated by oauth server is unique and you have to store it somewhere like cookies or user table. You can pass the access_token through authorization header.

Ajax call :

var token = "Your access_token";
$.ajax({
url:"someurl.com/api/auth/getuser",
dataType: 'json',
headers: {
  'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token
},
success: function(data, status) {
   return console.log("The returned data", data);
}
});
