Using SSL and https:// protocol. All API request works fine(Create student, create student enrollments, delete student enrollments), except GET students. - This reply was modified 6 years, 4 months ago by [seyrandev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seyrandev/). * Thread Starter [seyrandev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seyrandev/) * (@seyrandev) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-request-error-11/#post-12320054) * System Reports [https://monosnap.com/file/QrtPy1Eq2ivnl2uz4lVN7tECpWbYq5](https://monosnap.com/file/QrtPy1Eq2ivnl2uz4lVN7tECpWbYq5) [https://monosnap.com/file/Ws8vQ5qVFz8NFk8PBmCJin9RAb1fVY](https://monosnap.com/file/Ws8vQ5qVFz8NFk8PBmCJin9RAb1fVY) * [Thomas Patrick Levy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomasplevy/) * (@thomasplevy) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-request-error-11/#post-12320696) * [@seyrandev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seyrandev/), * I’m not seeing any issues locally with this endpoint. * Your system report doesn’t appear to identify any obvious plugin conflicts or errors. * Are you receiving a 403 or a 401 error? A 401, which I believe is what you’re encountering, is an error that indicates your credentials are not being verified at all while a 403 would indicate that your credentials are valid but do not provide you with permission to perform the action in question. * It’s possible that you’re encountering an issue of server configurations where your server does not accept basic authorization on a GET request. Could you try using the header authentication method outlined at [https://developer.lifterlms.com/rest-api/#section/Authentication/Header-Authentication](https://developer.lifterlms.com/rest-api/#section/Authentication/Header-Authentication) * This will use the fallback authentication method and if this is the issue you’re encountering should allow your api credentials to be read by the server. * Thread Starter [seyrandev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seyrandev/) * (@seyrandev) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-request-error-11/#post-12320742) * Ok. I create API request with POSTMAN and see i got a result but this is the result wrong (Email address missing) response structure different with your API documentation response example My response – [https://monosnap.com/file/aoavktS0uMTyLNyFqig8vpZ0sdNpmS](https://monosnap.com/file/aoavktS0uMTyLNyFqig8vpZ0sdNpmS) Your example API /students response – [https://monosnap.com/file/CVb5KqPMUzn1raPJj7Fl3VXRXXWJj1](https://monosnap.com/file/CVb5KqPMUzn1raPJj7Fl3VXRXXWJj1) * [Thomas Patrick Levy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomasplevy/) * (@thomasplevy) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-request-error-11/#post-12320989) * [@seyrandev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seyrandev/) * Make the request with `context=edit` to see all student information. * By default we only return “public” student information in the view context. This follows conventions set forth by the WordPress core REST API endpoints for user data. * Hope that helps, Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘API Request ERROR!’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/lifterlms/assets/icon.svg?rev=2034507) * [LifterLMS - WP LMS for eLearning, Online Courses, & Quizzes](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lifterlms/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lifterlms/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lifterlms/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lifterlms/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lifterlms/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/lifterlms/reviews/) * 9 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Thomas Patrick Levy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomasplevy/) * Last activity: [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/api-request-error-11/#post-12320989) * Status: resolved
