Has anyone else had a problem using postman lately? It was working fine on my old PC running windows. Now I keep getting this same message using Garth's instructions.
Please excuse the shoddy photo-editing
It is good that you hid the API key, but we'll probably need to see the URL you were trying to access in order to troubleshoot it. I would guess that something is wrong with your URL with that error message.
Also I would add a couple of things that have caught me in the past. A quick sanity check that the token is still valid (I set an expiry on a testing token once, that caused me a little bit of chasing my tail).
Also, to test that and double check that everything is OK with what you are attempting to do (and that it is a local problem with postman) have you double checked to ensure what you are trying to do works with the Live API, that is normally my first point of call to make sure there are no other issues.
You can do so by adding '/doc/api/live' after your Canvas URL (e.g. https://example.instructure.com/doc/api/live). Never hurts to double check the basics, if not, would love to see the part of the URL you are using after example.instructure.com/ (as Matt said though, very good policy to black out your Bearer Token.
Hope that helps!

I would agree with @stuart_ryan . I typically see issues with Postman when my token has expired, or when I forget to add part of the URL to the request. Most often for me it is the "?" before the parameters, or a "/" between navigational points that is either omitted or added.
Have you tried running this against another instance of Canvas (Test or Beta)? You may also want to try performing the GET via a web browser just to make sure that the path is valid and returning information. If all else fails, my go-to solution is to uninstall and then re-install the app.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
Hi @kevinw ,
I wanted to check in and see how you are progressing with this, has any of the info provided been able to get you over the hump and get Postman working again?
Cheers,Stuart
Canvas Data Services sent out an alert that a course was concluded (because the course was concluded) and the status of each user in the UI is set to complete, however, the enrollments API endpoint shows the status of each user in the course as active. Is this a common issue? Have I misinterpreted how the individual…
How can one track Canvas Media use without having the reports available from Canvas Studio? Checking API endpoints and the Data 2 schema, there do not seem to be dedicated Canvas Media endpoints. Am I missing some? A method I've considered is using the body field of the wiki_pages table, as this contains the html code of…
Hello, I'm trying to utilize an API call to pull completed certificates and was hoping to download and store the certs as a backup. I can successfully run the API call but it will not allow me to view the certificate unless I access the URL while signed into an account where it's "my" cert. Is there a permissions setting…
UI for weekly progression idea that rest in the Schedule tab of the **K-12 UI** of Canvas it's incomplete and I really would not take it and push it into instance but I am going to post it here because in the past people like @James && @robotcars || @Steve_25 have had terrific input in the past... maybe w/their eyes and…
I have a new React + Flask webapp. It has its own login for users to start using the app. I have added this as an external tool in Canvas. What I want initially is to see of canvas users can start using the webapp without having to login if they click on the external tool link in a canvas course. I have 2 methods…
