    Hi

    I realize that are many posts with same problem, which I went through. Still I could not find any resolve. For this reason I’m including as much info of my situation as possible.

    My situation:
    I’m trying to post Categories to the WooCommerce API.

    My environment (Windows 10):
    XAMPP v8.1.6
    XAMPP Control Panel v3.3.0
    WordPress version: 6.0
    WooCommerce version: 6.5.1
    WooCommerce REST API package: 6.5.1
    PHP version: 8.1.6
    MySQL version: 10.4.24-MariaD
    API Key Access read and write

    JSON Call:
    {“parent”:””,”slug”:”ladies”,”name”:”Ladies”,”description”:”Ladies”,”display”:”default”}

    JSON Response:
    {“code”:”woocommerce_rest_cannot_create”,”message”:” “,”data”:{“status”:401}} orry, you are not allowed to create resources.

    .htaccess:
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule .* – [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
    RewriteBase /myshop/wordpress/
    # RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /myshop/wordpress/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    Please Help

    Hi @mattsaay

    I was able to successful POST your data to /wp-json/wc/v3/products/categories and create a category.

    {"parent":"0","slug":"ladies","name":"Ladies","description":"Ladies","display":"default"}

    One issue I had was the encoding of your " markup.

    However, I do not believe this is the actual cause of your problem. The 401 response indicates that you have a permissions error. The unable to find resource indicates a possible issue with your server rejecting POST requests, rather than a problem with your API key and secret, which return errors of their own.

    I am working with local, however, not XAMPP.

    I would start by making sure the local server is responding correctly to POST requests to the WordPress API endpoints, and work on from there.
