I am trying to POST to my API, but for some reason, all POST requests return a 302. GET requests seem fine. I cannot see why I am getting a 302.

Route in `api.php`

```
Route::resource('calculator', 'Api\CalculatorController', ['only' => ['index', 'store']]);

```

Controller:

```
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Api;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Http\Requests\CalculatorValuationRequest;

class CalculatorController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        return response()->json(['test' => 1]);
    }

    public function store(CalculatorValuationRequest $request)
    {
        return response()->json(['this is a test']);
    }
}

```

Request Validator

```
<?php

namespace App\Http\Requests;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;

class CalculatorValuationRequest extends FormRequest
{
    public function authorize()
    {
        return true;
    }

    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'products' => ['required', 'array'],
            'products.*' => ['numeric', 'min:0.01', 'nullable'],
        ];
    }
}

```

Request & Response

```
curl -X POST \  
  http://localhost:8000/api/calculator \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"products": ["1" => "this is a test", "7" => "3"]}'
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8" />
        <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://localhost:8000" />

        <title>Redirecting to http://localhost:8000</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        Redirecting to <a href="http://localhost:8000">http://localhost:8000</a>.
    </body>
</html>%     

```

Example response when hitting route calculator.index showing GET requests work fine:

```
curl -X GET \
   http://localhost:8000/api/calculator \
   -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
   -H 'content-type: application/json' \
   -d '{"name": "asdf"}'
{"test":1}%   

```

I die and dump `dd('mytest')` inside the `CalculatorValuationRequest::rules()` method, and that works, so it appears as though when Validation fails, Laravel is trying to redirect rather than return 422 with validation response.

How do I get the validator to actually return an error rather than trying to redirect the user for API requests?
