Inertiajs router makes requests to web.php, how do I change that so that it will make requests to api.php?

Question

Inertiajs router makes requests to web.php by default, how do I change that so that it will make requests to api.php by default in a Vue app.

Route::post('/api/guardian-app/m/verify-phone', [GuardianPhoneVerificationController::class, 'verifyPhone']);

await router.post(
                "/api/guardian-app/m/verify-phone",
                {})
    ```

Can you please share your codes? Specifically your routes and the vue code that calls your APIs. — Tatachiblob

Simple add api before url. Example from users/ to api/users/. But you need to clarify the question by providing your current code. — Keyboard Corporation

It will look for that route in web.php, I want it to look for routes in api.php — Michael Njuguna

API routes requires a header that explicitly says the requester is accepting JSON, otherwise the API will respond with redirects and HTML pages instead of API results.

The router from Inertia does not add the correct header, so you will need to implement something like Axios (or another HTTP request library) and ensure that the Accept: application/json header is sent to your API.

If you've implemented Authentication for your API routes, you will need to somehow authenticate the requests with the chosen library (with Sanctum or something similar).

Completely replacing the Inertia router defeats the entire purpose with Inertia, and you'd be better off just replacing it with Nuxt or another preferred framework.
