Hey @Vikas_Kandwal :wave:

The admin API is private so you shouldn’t be using a frontend (e.g. angular) to make requests to it. That’s why you’re running into the ReferenceError - the admin sdk is intentionally not compiled to work in the browser.

Have you seen these docs?

Postman supports importing requests from curl, so you can try that to see what you’re missing

If you’re trying to have a custom admin interface, I think your best bet is to use user authentication -

Instead of an integration doing lots of things, it becomes a user doing it
