 * Hi,
    I started my journey with Woocommerce REST API, but after hours, I’m a still
   unable to authenticate over HTTP..
 * I’m using PHP so, where do I have to put this “**oauth_consumer_key=abc123&oauth_signature_method
   =HMAC-SHA1**” ? in the URL bar as a GET ?
    Do i only have to use consumer key?
   no consumer secret ? and how to encode it to be like that ? “G**ET&http%3A%2F%
   2Fwww.example.com%2Fwp-json%2Fwc%2Fv1%2Forders&oauth_consumer_key%3Dabc123%26oauth_signature_method%
   3DHMAC-SHA1**“
 * And if I want to use HTTPS, should my website look like: [https://MyWebsite.com](https://MyWebsite.com)
   or not necessarily?
 * Thank you very much for all the time you take to answer
    Have a nice day
