Hi ganesanjc, I think the token only works with using Espo-Authorization header. From rest api docs ( https://www.espocrm.com/documentation/development/api/ ): Basic Authentication

For refular users EspoCRM uses Basic Authentication. Username and password/token are passed through Authorization header encoded in base64.
"Authorization: Basic " + base64Encode(username + ':' + password)

It's better to use auth token instead of password when you work with api. In this case you will need to provide username and password/token in Espo-Authorization header.
"Espo-Authorization: " + base64Encode(username + ':' + passwordOrToken)

1. Obtain an access token by GET App/user request with the username and password passed in Espo-Authorization header.
2. Use this token instead of password in Espo-Authorization header for all further request.
3. If the request returns 401 error that means either username/password is wrong or token is not valid anymore.

How to pass Espo-Authorization: " + base64Encode(username + ':' + passwordOrToken) through API request

With EspoApiClient you can't obtain that token initially.
Make a request manually to obtain that token first.
