Location of auth:api Middleware - laravel-5.5

Question

Can somebody please tell the location of auth:api middleware?
As per the auth:api middleware, the api routes are protected by not null users.
I have a boolean field in user table called Is_Admin_Url_Accessible. I want to add a condition in the auth:api middleware for some routes to make user that only those user access such routes whoever are permitted to access the admin area.
I checked the class here but could not help.
\app\Http\Middleware\Authenticate.php

You can add a middleware that makes control user accessible, and you can set it as middleware to your route group like auth:api
Please run php artisan make:middleware UserAccessible on your terminal.
After run above artisan command, you will see generated a file named UserAccessible.php in the App/Http/Middleware folder.
UserAccessible.php Contents
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
class UserAccessible
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Closure $next
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$user = Auth::user();
if(!$user->accesible){
// redirect page or error.
}
return $next($request);
}
}
Then, you must define a route middleware via App/Http/Kernel.php
Kernel.php Contents
/**
* The application's route middleware.
*
* These middleware may be assigned to groups or used individually.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $routeMiddleware = [
...
'user_accessible' => \App\Http\Middleware\UserAccessible::class
];
And finally, you can define route middleware to your route group;
api.php Contents
Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth:api', 'user_accessible']], function () {
// your protected routes.
});
I hope this solve your problem.
