There are a few posts on something similar, however I feel mine is unique.

So below I have included some screenshots for proof. I have followed the documentation and have restarted a few times now. Each time I restarted, I had been solving issues after issues. So lets start by what I have done

  • Installed woocommerece
  • Moved local development to https://carteapp.net ( my website ) for SSL certification for Basic authorization requested in the documentation
  • Created both consumer key and secret key done in woocommerce settings
  • used consumer and secret key in the body of postman
  • Disabled any plugin that could potentially affect the api ( json api, json auth, My own custom plugins, user related plugns, etc)
  • I bought a theme, so I did change the theme to the default one that it came with.

but my errors remain the same.

{
    "code": "woocommerce_rest_cannot_view",
    "message": "Sorry, you cannot list resources.",
    "data": {
        "status": 401
    }
}

Here are some images for your reference

the consumer and secret key in the images no longer work. As I have cleaned and installed many fresh WordPress now. If anybody had similar issue and found a solution to this. Please share them.

Websites that I had looked into

https://sgwebpartners.com/how-to-use-woocommerce-api/
https://help.robotninja.com/en/articles/2015407-woocommerce-api-authentication-issues
https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#rest-api-keys

and many more, but those did not suggest any type of solution besides the usual, you have done something wrong and did not follow the documentation.

    I solved this a while back.

    The solution was that apparently not all of the pages were secured with SSL

    Thus I installed an add-on to make everything secure with SSL. Then it worked.


  2. Make sure that you are providing correct API url and Authorization you can use any of(basic auth or 0auth1.0).
