 * I suggest you start over again with getting consumer key and secret. Follow the
   [instructions here](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-rest-api/)
   very carefully.
 * Your code looks like it’s for the Ruby Client. Is Ruby something you are comfortable
   with using? While there’s nothing wrong with it if that’s what you are comfortable
   with, it’s somewhat of an unusual choice. Of course your choices depend on what
   you are developing for, of which I’ve no idea.
