Postman not Working with Laravel Valet (Local)

Question

When I use Postman to send or get data to/from my local Laravel applications it always returns the error...

Could not get any response. For example, a GET request to http://demo_app.localhost/api/data.

I use Laravel Valet on my Mac. It looks like Postman can't find the local domain.

Since you are using valet, do you need to request to https, not http? — TPHughes, Jul 05 '18 at 07:23

I had the same issue when trying to use valet with Postman and what fixed it for me was turning off the SSL verification in Settings > General. I believe valet is using some internal SSL certificate by default that cannot be verified properly by Postman.

Use TLD .test, if your Valet version is up-to-date and not specifically configured to use .localhost.

Should be like http://demo_app.test/api/data

See official docs for background:

Valet documentation at chapter "Using Another Domain".

I had the same issue and used all the suggestion above, none of them works. For my case, I used the following command to fix the problem:

php artisan optimize

This clears the cache and config files and reloads the new api Routes added to the Laravel framework.
