Hi, Mookofe! I am used laravel 5.1. when I add webhook in GitHub, url is http://mywebsite/api/github. but it always said response 500.this is html response headers:
Cache-Control: no-cache, private
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 13912
Content-Type: text/html
date: Mon, 27 Nov 2017 04:55:03 GMT
Server: nginx/1.4.6 (Ubuntu)
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.9-1ubuntu4.22

ok, I get it. because I forgot add $except = "api/github" in VerifyCsrfToken Middleware. Thank you!

@Gijera, since you are using api routes, and it is stateless, you should not using CSRF middleware
