Hello there,

I am trying to get WooCommerce API up and running and I have already checked all the most common pitfalls (permalinks, permissions…) only to keep getting a 404 when trying to access the API:
```
$ curl -u ck_0ee40164d3bdd847f2bf2abcf62f8ccc6cae5e10:cs_c2779c022fbc95df4923ccc8f1c544d4b6066f42 http://woocommerce/wp-json/wc/v1/orders

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>404 Not Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested URL /wp-json/wc/v1/orders was not found on this server.</p>
<hr>
<address>Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) Server at woocommerce Port 80</address>
</body></html>
```
So I will try once again from scratch, posting the context after each step to this thread to try to spot the cause, perhaps with help from some more experienced users… 🙂

The initial context of the installation is:
- Ubuntu Server 16.04
- PHP 7.0.28-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
- Apache 2.2
- MySQL 5.7
- WordPress 4.9.6
- WooCommerce 3.4.0

Hey @fcarriedos

Can we back up for a minute? What is your overall goal here?

Second, can you edit your comment and delete those API keys, please (unless this is a localhost install)

The requested URL /wp-json/wc/v1/orders was not found on this server.

Silly question… do you have any orders on your site?

Thanks,

Hello @dougaitken

My overall goal is to enable my local installation to get access to the WooCommerce API (v1, v2) for some development I want to do.

As said, it is a localhost, so no problem in seeing the keys.

I don’t have orders, but I created a product, tried to access the product endpoint and got the same result.

Any hint?

Thanks a lot for your support!

Hi there,

I noticed your URL wasn’t complete, so maybe that is just the issue here returning the 404. You had the following…
```
$ curl -u ck_0ee40164d3bdd847f2bf2abcf62f8ccc6cae5e10:cs_c2779c022fbc95df4923ccc8f1c544d4b6066f42 http://woocommerce/wp-json/wc/v1/orders
```
Your URL seems it’s missing a TLD. –> “http://woocommerce/”

I would also use V2 if you can and use a curl command like this, but change/fill in the details for your site. Also, it may need this curl auth for a local site over HTTP and not HTTPS.
```
curl https://www.example.com/wp-json/wc/v2/orders \
    -u consumer_key:consumer_secret
```
Using an app called Insomnia I was able to make it work with a hosted site over HTTPS and a local site with HTTP.
