How to do same with localhost?

bro, it doesn't worked i have https and i used basic auth but no

[@esc4p3EP]

Hi, may i know how u handle user session for user or cookies if using WooCommerce API?

[@SuperSQA]

Wordpress have its own user management. And there are other plugins as well for user management. You have to go to Seetings for wordpress and select 'allow users to register'. Not sure that is exactly your question but wuser management is done from the Wordpress side.

Hi, Can you please do a session on how to push information from one system to woocommerce, for instance I would like to update stock on my woocommerce website using my point of sales system ( Odyssey)

[@captainofthewhitetower]

Bro okay we get the product, how do we move on from that? I mean i have one product and I printed that in terminal. What should I do after that ? Can you show ? I do not understand what happens next.

[@SuperSQA]

It depends on what you are looking to do? What is the purpose of making the API call? Depends on your goal. For me, I am testing the API (teaching how to test it). So once I make the API call with PostMan and confirm it works then I do the same in Python/PyTest and verify the response is as expected. If you tell me what your goal is I can give you pointers.

@@SuperSQA I am trying to add to the cart that's all. After that, I am going to take the order once it is paid I am going to process it on my app.

[@SuperSQA]

You just place the order then. No need to add to cart in the backend. Here is example of how you would place the order: woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/?python#create-an-order

[@djohnworthy1040]

@@SuperSQA The thing is that. The cart is always empty. So placing an order will auto add to cart? I need to update the cart. So like user will add products and then buy.

Here, Postman require Signature Method in OAuth 1.0 and show me "Invalid Singature" on HMAC-SHA1

[@SuperSQA]

Hi Saulo, as you can see in the video it worked for me so hard for me to say why it wouldn't work for you. Are you using https? if so you need different type of auth. Sorry this is not much help but for sure it has to do with your specific setup.

[@sauloves]

@@SuperSQA hi! Thanks for response. Perhaps some bug happens here, i don't know. Just generated new keys and work (who understands). Anyaway, your video help me so much. Thanks!

the mouse indicator is a bit annoying but great video :D

[@testapi7767]

Thank you very much for the video. But I'm getting a 401 status, I'm not sure what am i doing wrong. Could you help me out please? I can mail you the Screenshots if you like to share your email.

[@SuperSQA]

Looks like it is access issue. It is not taking your credentials. Make sure you use it exactly how I show it on the video. And pay attention to http and https. They way I set it up it is http. If you follow it just like I did it would be http too. there is extra step for the https. Feel free to email me screen shots. Make sure to include the credentials tab also.

[@YoosufMuneer]

@@SuperSQA What's the extra step for HTTPS?

[@SuperSQA]

@@YoosufMuneer You will open 'locale' and select the site you want to make https. One of the tabs is SSL. Click that tab and click the "TRUST' link next to 'Certificate'. After that login as admin and under Settings/General update your URL.

[@FxMedSupport]

@@SuperSQA I am not following this - can it be shown or explaind differently

[@jarkko_tv]

I was initially getting 401 with the mentioned Python WooCommerce library but queries with the Postman were working. Figured out that this Python library is outdated or incompatible with Python 3.8+. You should simply use Python Requests library with it's basic auth. import requests response = requests.get(API_URL, auth=(KEY,SECRET)) print(response.status_code) This is basically what this WooCommerce wrapper library tries to help you do anyways and nothing else.

[@djohnworthy1040]

How do I add to cart?

[@SuperSQA]

You dont add to cart in the API. You just create the payload/body for the 'place order api' and make the call. You just have to build the payload with user and product information.

[@djohnworthy1040]

​@@SuperSQA By the way, thanks for the reply.

[@djohnworthy1040]

@@SuperSQA Is there a link for that payload call? For me to check it out would be great. Does it automatically add to the cart? After I use the payload and POST it. Does it automatically send it to the cart?

[@SuperSQA]

You are very welcome

[@SuperSQA]

The official documentation has an example payload and call. Here is the link: woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/?python#create-an-order

[@neutralengineer3873]

What about add cart API? It's not given.

[@SuperSQA]

Yes Riyaz, you are correct, they did not give any information on add to cart which I would expect to see for an ecommerce api. Here is the official documentation: woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#introduction
