 * I am getting the following error response when trying to use the API. Connection
   via HTTPS. This happens for all requests.
 * {“errors”:[{“code”:”woocommerce_api_authentication_error”,”message”:”\u30b3\u30f3\
   u30b7\u30e5\u30fc\u30de\u30fc\u30ad\u30fc\u304c\u3042\u308a\u307e\u305b\u3093″}]}
 * Any ideas what is going on.

 * I can get the API authentication to work with the keys as a query string in a
   browser for getting data. I cannot get any POST or PUT functions to actually 
   work with a URL in a browser or with cURL commands.
 * URL will not update the data and cURL always fails authentication.

 * No can do. Sent a request into Woo a week a go and no word back. I got a halfway
   response back from SkyVerge when I sent a question to them directly as I know
   they had a big hand in the API core.
 * Woo support is not really good. you would think they would have some really good
   answers on how to use this API they rave about having.

 * Hi all,
 * Have you got any update on this?
 * I am using the Client Library on an HTTP request but I also get the “oauth_consumer_key
   parameter is missing” error.
 * How can I solve this?
 * I’ve been all day on this, hopefully I’ll find an answer here.
 * Thank you

 * Definitely an error in the code you’re using to connect. post your own thread
   please.

 * And additionally, there are pre-made libs if you cannot work it out yourself

 * Ok, thanks Mike. I am using already a library and I managed to get the products
   show if I go to that file but when I go to `/wc-api/v3/products` I get the oauth
   error.
 * I have created another thread as requested, [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/authentication-error-with-rest-api-1?replies=1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/authentication-error-with-rest-api-1?replies=1)
