# Rest API keys not creating properly

 * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-keys-not-creating-properly/)
 * I’m developing a plugin for an existing site for customers to design custom T-
   Shirts, which will then get added to the WooCommerce basket/processed as an order.
 * I’ve copied the theme to a local installation (i.e WAMP) and I’m currently working
   on it locally.
 * My problem is in generating API keys specifically for WooCommerce. Whenever I
   fill in the details and generate one, the loading/circle animation happens indefinitely
   so I can’t see the key details to use for authorisation. If I refresh it’ll display
   the created key with the abbreviated consumer key, but I can’t view full details.
 * Tested it with the live site in case I’d done something wrong with my local installation
   but it’s having the same problem.
 * Struggling to find an answer so any help would be appreciated.

 * Hi [@tymcdk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tymcdk/),
 * Make sure with your local installation that the REST API is activated, and follow
   the steps at [this walkthrough](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-rest-api/#section-3)
   for more.
 * I understand that when trying to generate a key it appears to indefinitely load
   and never really generated, but if something different (or the same) happens 
   after going through the walkthrough please let us know!
