I am using Laravel on my API server. I am making an API request from my chrome extension. Since I couldn't find a way to save my API auth token safely in the chrome extension and reuse it every time I want to make a request, hence I am looking for a way to identify the request on API side if the request is from my extension or not.

browser google-chrome-extension authentication api laravel

Add an extra header in the chrome extension where you are calling your Api .Add the header to api header when calling. Now in the controller use.

if ($request->hasHeader('X-Header-Name')) {
    Api call from extension ..
}

Reference Link Request Header
