I don’t know how to get the bearer token… I’m starting today to learn about APIs. I wanted to test the free banking APIs at nordigen.com , and tried following the guide over there. I have setup a collection and an API here in Postman. Then following the nordigen.com guide I chose Bearer token in Pos…
