Custom Middleware Laravel is not working on api routes - development

Custom Middleware Laravel is not working on api routes

i had middleware call user which is to filter a role on my user table on database. this is my middleware called user

<?php

namespace AppHttpMiddleware;

use Closure;
use Auth;
use UsersData;
class User
{
    /**
     * Handle an incoming request.
     *
     * @param  IlluminateHttpRequest  $request
     * @param  Closure  $next
     * @return mixed
     */
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        if(Auth::check() && Auth::User()->role=='user'){
            return $next($request);
        }
        return redirect()->route('login')->with('danger',"You don't have an access");
    }
}

and i already register my middleware in kernel

protected $routeMiddleware = [
        'auth' => IlluminateAuthMiddlewareAuthenticate::class,
        'auth.basic' => IlluminateAuthMiddlewareAuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
        'bindings' => IlluminateRoutingMiddlewareSubstituteBindings::class,
        'can' => IlluminateAuthMiddlewareAuthorize::class,
        'guest' => AppHttpMiddlewareRedirectIfAuthenticated::class,
        'throttle' => IlluminateRoutingMiddlewareThrottleRequests::class,
        'user' => AppHttpMiddlewareUser::class,
        'ajax' => AppHttpMiddlewareAjax::class,
    ];

and the routes of api.php

Route::middleware('user')->group(function () {
        Route::post('province','ApiController@getcity')->name('api.getcity');
        Route::post('courier/getcost','ApiController@getCourierCost')->name('api.getcouriercost');
    });

update on config/auth.php here is the guards

<?php

return [

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Authentication Defaults
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This option controls the default authentication "guard" and password
    | reset options for your application. You may change these defaults
    | as required, but they're a perfect start for most applications.
    |
    */

    'defaults' => [
        'guard' => 'web',
        'passwords' => 'users',
    ],

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Authentication Guards
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Next, you may define every authentication guard for your application.
    | Of course, a great default configuration has been defined for you
    | here which uses session storage and the Eloquent user provider.
    |
    | All authentication drivers have a user provider. This defines how the
    | users are actually retrieved out of your database or other storage
    | mechanisms used by this application to persist your user's data.
    |
    | Supported: "session", "token"
    |
    */

    'guards' => [
        'web' => [
            'driver' => 'session',
            'provider' => 'users',
        ],

        'api' => [
            'driver' => 'token',
            'provider' => 'users',
        ],
    ],

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | User Providers
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | All authentication drivers have a user provider. This defines how the
    | users are actually retrieved out of your database or other storage
    | mechanisms used by this application to persist your user's data.
    |
    | If you have multiple user tables or models you may configure multiple
    | sources which represent each model / table. These sources may then
    | be assigned to any extra authentication guards you have defined.
    |
    | Supported: "database", "eloquent"
    |
    */

    'providers' => [
        'users' => [
            'driver' => 'eloquent',
            'model' => AppUser::class,
        ],

        // 'users' => [
        //     'driver' => 'database',
        //     'table' => 'users',
        // ],
    ],

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Resetting Passwords
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | You may specify multiple password reset configurations if you have more
    | than one user table or model in the application and you want to have
    | separate password reset settings based on the specific user types.
    |
    | The expire time is the number of minutes that the reset token should be
    | considered valid. This security feature keeps tokens short-lived so
    | they have less time to be guessed. You may change this as needed.
    |
    */

    'passwords' => [
        'users' => [
            'provider' => 'users',
            'table' => 'password_resets',
            'expire' => 60,
        ],
    ],

];

everything works on web.php routes but this api.php is not working ?
