Unable to access HERE API with Bearer authorization

I am trying to access HERE API example with JetBrains with HTTP files. When I write request this way

GET https://discover.search.hereapi.com/v1/discover?at=52.5228,13.4124&q=petrol+station&limit=5
Authorization: Bearer {{API_KEY}}

I am getting an error

{
  "error": "Unauthorized",
  "error_description": "Token Validation Failure - unrecognized kid null"
}

And while I am accessing with

GET https://discover.search.hereapi.com/v1/discover?apiKey={{API_KEY}}&at=52.5228,13.4124&q=petrol+station&limit=5

I am getting a normal answer.

Why? Is it just wrong documentation?

Please use your bearer token generated from OAUTH, you can check this post to generate the bearer token from postman or with Python.

 https://discover.search.hereapi.com/v1/discover?at=52.5228,13.4124&q=petrol+station&limit=5
Authorization: Bearer {Use your Bearer access token}

When you use "Authorization: Bearer" method don't use API_KEY, but YOUR_TOKEN that you get from OAUTH, more info in documentation https://developer.here.com/documentation/authentication/dev_guide/topics/request-constructing.html
