Getting woocommerce_rest_cannot_view 403 error when using Bearer Token

When accessing the REST APIs like retrieve Product etc , I am getting 403 woocommerce_rest_cannot_view error. I am passing the token generated by /wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token endpoint.
```
{
    "code": "woocommerce_rest_cannot_view",
    "message": "Sorry, you cannot view this resource.",
    "data": {
        "status": 403
    }
}
```

Hi @shamshudein , i think WooCommerce has their own auth method. In version 1.4.0, this plugin shouldn’t affect WooCommerce.

What’s the WooCommerce endpoint that you experience this error? That would help debugging 🙂

Thanks,

Hi @contactjavas , I am using latest version JWT Auth 1.4.1.

It is happening to all endpoints when using Bearer Token. Token is generated by passing the login using the user name/pwd of the customer.

Endpoint used for generating token: /wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token

Some examples of WooCommerce EndPoints used with Bearer Token are given below. All of them are giving errors. Same is working when we used Basic Authentication with Admin user.

/wp-json/wc/v3/customers/<<customerId>>
/wp-json/wc/v3/products/<<productId>>
/wp-json/wc/v3/products/categories/<<categoryId>>

Hi @shamshudein , yes WooCommerce use Basic not Bearer.
Is it ok if you just use Basic Auth for consuming WooCommerce API?

@contactjavas I am trying to use JWT Auth to generate token based on Customer user name/pwd dynamically on Mobile App based on customer login.

Basic Authentication using WooCommerce ConsumerKey & ConsumerSecret from Mobile App will not work as it will expose the Admin Authentication details. That is the reason I am trying to use JWT Auth to generate the token using user credentials (with Customer Role).

Apparently WooCommerce does not like it. Isn’t it the purpose of JWT Auth Plugin here?
