 * Hello, can you help me to find the way how to make authentication via API?
 * I made a request as it was mentioned in docs.
    And i have curl – domain.com/wp-
   json/wc/v1/orders?consumer_key=123&consumer_secret=abc .
 * But i recieve 401 error, which means that I made a mistake.
 * I use ssl certificate and website addres starts with https.
 * Can you help me please?

 * Sorry, I can’t help you build a custom app here – this forum is only for WooCommerce
   core technical support, not customizations. The docs should give you all the 
   information needed: [http://woothemes.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/](http://woothemes.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/)
 * Maybe consider using one of these libraries: [http://woothemes.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#libraries-and-tools](http://woothemes.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#libraries-and-tools)
