The purpose of this method is to handle exceptions that occur during the execution of the application.
The method first checks if the request path matches the pattern 'api/*' or if the request expects a JSON response. If either of these conditions is true, it calls the apiException method and passes in the $request and $exception parameters. This method likely handles the exception and returns a JSON response.
If the request does not match the pattern 'api/*' and does not expect a JSON response, the method calls the parent render method and passes in the $request and $exception parameters. This will likely render a standard error page.
Overall, this code appears to be part of an error handling system that differentiates between API requests and other requests and provides appropriate error responses for each.
