Datatables not loading with Laravel

I am using datatables within Laravel 5.1 and am getting the error alert;

DataTables warning: table id=DataTables_Table_0 - Ajax error. For more information about this error, please see http://ift.tt/1DEvAWT

This is along with the below showing in the console;

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
http://ift.tt/1Ppgzyo

I cannot seem to find the issue, is it due to using laravel and the system looking for /api/ as a route?
