# API Versioning in Laravel 11

**[Laravel News](https://daily.dev/sources/ln)** · 3 min read · 128 upvotes · 3 comments

## Summary

Laravel 11 has streamlined its application skeleton by removing unnecessary service providers and default API routes. If you need to set up an API, you can use the `php artisan install:api` command to configure routes and necessary files. For API versioning, you can either add versioned routes in separate files like `routes/api_v1.php` and `routes/api_v2.php`, or configure them directly in the `bootstrap/app.php` file. This article provides step-by-step instructions for both methods to keep your routes organized.
