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
Hello, I'm building a standalone app that integrate with CanvasI) - What are the requirements (and cost if any) for receiving an API developer key issued by Instructure? - Are Instructure-issued keys enabled globally in all Canvas organizations? or will there need to be institution-by-institution enablement? Thanks
Hi everyone, I am seeking some insight into how Canvas LMS handles HTTP errors and how they are reflected in the logs versus the user interface. We are currently observing the following behavior in our environment: Log-only errors: We are seeing 500 (Internal Server Error) and 503 (Service Unavailable) errors recorded in…
I'm currently integrating an LTI tool and attempting to use the Activity.id.history https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/file.tools_variable_substitutions.html#activity-id-history variable, but I'm experiencing issues getting it to work properly. What I've Done: Added the Activity.id.history variable to my Developer…
I looked through the LTI Variable Substitutions documentation and while there are variable substitutions available for Canvas.term.name and Canvas.term.id (which is the Canvas incremented ID like "104"), I was surprised to see there was no option for Canvas.term.sisSourceId I tried testing other possible variants that may…
