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 …

Yeah I went with that route, Thank you!
