We’re running WooCommerce and trying to hook our accounting software up to it using the REST API. The software uses the standard method of authentication on the API–HTTP Basic Auth with the consumer key and consumer secret as the username and password. However, as the WC API documentation states:
“Occasionally some servers may not parse the Authorization header correctly… In this case, you may provide the consumer key/secret as query string parameters instead.”
Our current server (Media Temple) is apparently one of these. We’re not going to fork over $2k/mo. for a dedicated box, so we’re looking for a new shared environment that can support the standard authentication method.
Is anyone using the REST API successfully on a shared server? If so, which host and plan are you using?
