The Concept to use here would be Middleware:
To get you started, put this in your API-Controller's ctors:
public function __construct()
{
// reqires Authentificataion before access
$this->middleware('auth.basic');
}
Your app should then be able to call the resources like
http://user:pass@yourapp.com/yourresource/1
