Hello,  
For Okta API calls you need to use the Org Authorization server. The ‘default’ authorization server is actually a custom authorization that is configured by Okta. The URL should be:

```auto
https://${yourOktaDomain}/api/v1/users

```

Surprisingly how Authorization server related to 405 Method Not Allowed  
: “The endpoint does not support the provided HTTP method” ?

As per my understanding it has to throw incorrect URI if the url should : https://{yourOktaDomain}/api/v1/users as used https://{yourOktaDomain}/api/default/v1/users.

Correct me if i misunderstood.

@balamurali.k The correct endpoint is  
{{url}}/api/v1/users

If you are using postman, you can import the API collections from [here]  
([Postman Collections | Okta Developer](https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/postman-collections/)).
