Webservice call resulting in a 401

[30knees]

I am trying to connect a webservice to domain/api and get a 401 error. 

Using Insomnia, I see this reply:

< HTTP/2 401 
< server: nginx
< date: Tue, 09 Apr 2024 12:53:23 GMT
< content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8
< www-authenticate: Basic realm="Welcome to PrestaShop Webservice, please enter the authentication key as the login. No password required."

Does anybody have an idea would the problem could be?

When I try connecting via the browser https://www.domain.com/api?Authorization=KEY I get the pop up asking for username and password. I enter they key as username and no password and the pop up keeps asking.

Webservice can use different types of authentication. By default, basic http authentication is used.

But you can use ws_key parameter as well, simply pass it in the url:

https://www.domain.com/api?ws_key=KEY

Thanks. ws_key works in the browser but the third party still isn't working. I'll trouble their support some more and if that doesn't work I'll submit a ticket with you.

p.s. Are there any changes in the webservice between tb and PS 1.6 that might cause the problem in the third party's implementation?

The solution was to enable CGIPassAuth On in the .htaccess.
