OAuth 1.0 question

Ask the Experts and Postman Tips
1

Hi,

When I’m using OAuth 1.0 authorization to communicate with the WooCommerce REST API
I notice that the Access Token and Token Secret fields are blank. Does Postman
somehow generate these values or are they not used?

I know you question is old and it may not help you but others may have the same issue.

While I am not familiar with WooCommerce, typical OAuth 1.0 flow, you have the consumer key and secret and you ask for a request token first.

So you will get the access token and token secret from the authorization server, not from Postman. Postman will just auto-fill the required fields and calculate the signature for you.

I did here an example using the Flickr API that may help explain the process: https://youtu.be/3gXPjj5iEAA
