Hi,  
I am having challenges to make API calls to NERM tenant using postman.  
For SailPoint ISC, I followed process given on the [developer.sailpoint.com](http://developer.sailpoint.com) and used PAT to create Access token which is then seamlessly making API calls to ISC tenant.  
For NERM, however, I tried many things but I cannot understand how can I make API calls similar to how I make the API calls of ISC using postman.

If Anyone has done this before, please guide me so that I can use postman to make API calls to NERM tenant.

Thanks,  
Vaibhav

NERM APIs utilize Bearer tokens at this time. You can get a Bearer token from the UI of a tenant in Admin \> System \> API.

From there, in Postman (If you have forked our Postman Collection: [Postman Workspace](https://developer.sailpoint.com/discuss/t/official-identitynow-postman-workspace/6153) ), you can set a “bearerToken” variable in your Postman environment and you should be good to go.

If you haven’t forked our collection, you can still do this in Postman. In your environment (or create a new one), set up a variable to hold the bearer token. The value should just be the API Token value like “1234”. That should look something like:

Then, in your Collection, go to the Authorization tab. Set the Auth Type to “Bearer” and the use the variable you set- {{bearerToken}}

Then, any folders or requests inside of that collection should use the “Inherit Auth from parent” Auth Type to pull in that Bearer token:

@ZackTarantino-Woolson , Thank you so much for the guidance, I could follow your steps and now can make API calls to NERM. 👍
