Hi @Akanshi Kumari 

This means you don't have been granted a group membership on the global permissions in Confluence that is able to create a space.

Are you able to create a space form the GUI, if not you a certain that the above is the case.

Yes from the GUI I am able to create space/pages but not from REST API
