Have you checked the bearer token with another request?

Recommend this too. Because I don’t use Postman regularly, my bearer token had expired once, which led to some confusion.

@Sebastian Yes, my /api/content/ work great for all request.

@marcus_hum I have a pre-test to keep the token updated.

Are you using a normal client or custom permissions?

I would upload an asset with the UI, then “clone” the request with postman.

I create a new client and it work ok.

Thanks for the help.
