Woocommerce REST API 404 error

Question

Since woocommerce released the 2.1 version with REST API feature, I tried to use it: I activated the API on my woocommerce admin panel but when I try to call the curl: http://www.mydomain.com/wc-api/v1/

the response is a 404 file not found error.

I tried to check everything in internet, I've read woocommerce docs but I cannot figure out what I have to do: probably some setting in the server apache or php... I don't know..

Thank you

Answer 1

Try going, on the Admin Panel, to Settings -> Permalinks. On Default Settings radio group, select the "Post name" one. Save the changes.

Worked for me; hope for you too. :)

It was simply a matter of enabling URL rewriting in WordPress. Basically, go to Settings -> Permalinks and make sure the first rewriting option is set to Posts Name.
