Laravel API URL not found

I am creating an API Laravel project and it seems that there an error I can’t find.
I want to get data from the table ‘units’.

These are the codes:

bootstrap/app.php

<?php

use IlluminateFoundationApplication;
use IlluminateFoundationConfigurationExceptions;
use IlluminateFoundationConfigurationMiddleware;

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
->withRouting(
    web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php',
    commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php',
    health: '/up',
)
->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
    //
})
->withExceptions(function (Exceptions $exceptions) {
    //
    })->create();

api.php

<?php

use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesRoute;
use AppHttpControllersUnitController;

// Define the API routes for units
    Route::apiResource('units', UnitController::class);

controller

public function index()
    {
        return Unit::all();
    }

When I try to test it in Postman with the link http://localhost/api/units it says

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html>

<head>
    <title>404 Not Found</title>
</head>

<body>
    <h1>Not Found</h1>
    <p>The requested URL was not found on this server.</p>
    <hr>
    <address>Apache/2.4.58 (Win64) OpenSSL/3.1.3 PHP/8.2.12 Server at localhost Port 80</address>
</body>

</html>

I checked the database .env file

APP_NAME=SKYCENTRAL
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=base64:havtW5AahJjp4acK6Wg8PvRewVywLlwzjcp9xdA2NnQ=
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_TIMEZONE=UTC
APP_URL=http://localhost

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=skycentral
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

I tried php artisan route:list

  GET|HEAD       / .......................................................................................................................................................... generated::Tn7gBH3CyKBwZe5V
  GET|HEAD       up ......................................................................................................................................................... generated::AsPiJE7sim8PezPd

    It would help if you optimized after each change in routes.

    php artisan optimize

    OR

    php artisan route:clear

    You need to register the api.php routes in bootstrap/app.php

    return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
->withRouting(
    web: __DIR__.'/../routes/web.php',
    api: __DIR__.'/../routes/api.php', //<--- this one
    commands: __DIR__.'/../routes/console.php',
    health: '/up',
)

    You can simply do that with a command in laravel 11

    php artisan install:api

    First need to change in .env file like APP_URL

    APP_NAME=YourProjectName
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=base64:***************************
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_URL=http://localhost/YourProjectDirectoryName

    Since Laravel takes the api prefix by default in the api route, the api.php route file needs to have the api prefix removed.

    <?php

use IlluminateHttpRequest;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesRoute;
use AppHttpControllersUnitController;

// Define the API routes for units
Route::apiResource('units', UnitController::class);

    Your api url will after that look like that.

    http://localhost/YourProjectDirectoryName/public/index.php/api/units
