When i tried access the below URL i am able to access it and create files in it also.

URL i am able to access -

https://learningsfdc.sharepoint.com/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativePath(decodedurl='/Shared%20Documents')/Files

https://learningsfdc.sharepoint.com/sites/SidFirstSite/Shared%20Documents/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl(decodedurl='/sites/SidFirstSite/Shared%20Documents')/Files

What is the permission i am missing..

Answer 1

In Your URL you have added Shared%20Documents after site URL, which is not required.

Try using below URL:

https://learningsfdc.sharepoint.com/sites/SidFirstSite/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/Shared Documents')

Reference:

Working with folders and files with REST.

Also, you need to create the Site level app and add authorization to Postman. Check below article for this:
