my configuration looks like below 

/*
	|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	| Authentication Providers
	|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	|
	| The authentication providers that should be used when attempting to
	| authenticate an incoming API request.
	|
	*/

	'auth' => [
		'custom' => function($app)
		{
			return new \Patina\Extensions\PatinaApiAuthenticationProvider;
		}
	],
	
	when i try and hit a api endpoint that has a protected route internally it doesnt seemt to go into the authentication provider at all, when i use postman it does go into it but then i get issues with it asking for my user model which i dont have as the site doesnt use eloquent models its using parse to authenticate im not 100% sure what im doing wrong her, any thoughts?

Hey sorry for the late reply. Only just installed Skype on my new laptop. Internal API calls bypass any authentication. This could be related to this: dingo/api#56
