How to POST a request on Moodle using POSTMAN api tool

Question

I want to create an API request in Postman that creates a category in Moodle. The following are the steps which I did in Moodle :

1. Enabled Web service
2. Created an External service and added core_course_create_categories function.
3. Enabled REST protocol
4. Created Token.

This is my POST URL: http://localhost/test/moodle/webservice/rest/server.php?username=admin&password=Password@1&service=mycustomservice&name=CustomCategory&parent=1&idnumber=CSTM1&description=Desc

Under Authorization tab, I have selected Bearer Token and added the Token from Moodle web service.

When I send the request, I am getting invalidtoken Invalid token - token not found error.

Can anyone please suggest a solution for this

Moodle version: 3.4.8 and Postman version 7.6.0

Thanks in advance.

You can not call API by GET Method. In postman you have to call the API using POST method. pass your token in form-data as wstoken. call your function as wsfunction.

Check my Screenshot below.
