 * Hello,
 * I have a problem with the API not wanting to respond to a specific request. I
   get this error message in response:
 *     ```
       Object {
         "code": "woocommerce_rest_cannot_view",
         "data": Object {
           "status": 401,
         },
         "message": "Sorry, you cannot list resources.",
       }
       ```
   
 * My request to retrieve all my products works but as soon as I want to make a 
   request to return a product with a specific SKU, it displays me the error message…
   
   What I don’t understand is that with the same parameters in Python, it works 
   fine but on my application in Javascript it rejects me.
 *     ```
       const WooCommerce = new WooCommerceAPI({
           url: 'https://myURL.com',
           consumerKey: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
           consumerSecret: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
           version: 'wc/v3',
           queryStringAuth: true
         });
       ```
   
 * Work (javascript):
    `WooCommerce.get('products')`
 * Don’t Work (javascript):
    `WooCommerce.get('products?sku=MK_MB"')`
 * Work (python):
    `wcapi.get("products?sku=MK_MB").json()`
 * Do you know why I can’t make the request work in Javascript?
 * Thank you for your help !

 * So, finally, my request works if it is written this way…
 * `WooCommerce.get('products', { 'sku': 'MK_MB' })`
