I am creating a connector which will integrate with the Stack Overflow API. I need to generate an access token of Stack Overflow account so that I can fetch its API. But when I am generating an access token through Postman, it is asking for user approval, but I don't need it.

Is there a way to generate a token using Postman without user approval?

You do need it; an access token identifies the user. Without an approval step, I could make an access token for your account and read your inbox or post questions in your name.

If you don't need access to private information and no write access, you don't need an access token to get increased quota; an application key is sufficient. For that, you only need to register your application; here is a simple guide for that.
