Having trouble with API to create Collection

Help

Hi everyone,
Just to note, Im very new to Directus.

So I started a local Docker instance just to try things out and I am having trouble with getting access to the API specifically to create a new collection.

So I send a POST request to http://localhost:8055/collections and from what I understand

  • Access Tokens are based on the scope of the users role (I am Administrator)
  • Only Admins are able to use the API

I feel like im missing something…

What issue are you running into when trying to create a collection?

The collection definition payload can be somewhat unwieldy so I’d personally recommend to create a collection through the app first and inspect the api requests done.

Yeah I went with that route, Thank you!
This might be off topic but I have now permission issues with Flows… When I try to update a “product” I get a permission error, but the account has Full Access…
