Instead of using your Headers tab, use the Authorization tab and select "Bearer Token" from the dropdown, then paste your token into the Token field.

Postman Authorization Token

In some version of Postman Authorization type 'Bearer Token' doesn't appear, In that case, you can pass a token in a header as below : enter image description here
