I tried looking for answers before posting but couldn't find any.

I hosted my magento site in siteground and added integration.

Then I tried accessing the API using Postman but I get either 401 error or could not get any response.

Can someone help me with this?

UPDATED: Turns out the problem is on the hosting site. Tried accessing on localhost and its working. But when I tried accessing in my host server I got 401. Any idea? I'm using siteground for hosting my magento.

If you are using token-based authentication, create a web services user on Magento Admin by selecting System > Permission > All Users > Add New User. (If you are using session-based or OAuth authentication, you do not need to create the new user in the Admin.)

Create a new integration on Magento Admin. To create an integration, click System > Extensions > Integration > Add New Integration. Be sure to restrict which resources the integration can access.

Use a REST or SOAP client to configure authentication.

Sample code snippet to check in postman 

API Endpoint : magento_host_url/rest/V1/products/types

Method : GET

Headers:
**Key**                  **value**
Content-type :   application/json
Authorization :  Bearer youraccesstoken  

(here you need to place your Access Token which you get from System > Extensions > Integration > Edit.)

Response you will get is like below : 

[
    {
        "name": "simple",
        "label": "Simple Product"
    },
    {
        "name": "virtual",
        "label": "Virtual Product"
    },
    {
        "name": "configurable",
        "label": "Configurable Product"
    },
    {
        "name": "downloadable",
        "label": "Downloadable Product"
    },
    {
        "name": "grouped",
        "label": "Grouped Product"
    },
    {
        "name": "bundle",
        "label": "Bundle Product"
    }
]

  • I'm using the session-based and tried your answer but no luck. I tried this. API Endpoint: splashm2.sg-host.com/rest/V1/products/types Method: GET Headers: Key value Content-type : application/json Authorization : Bearer myaccesstoken But still no luck.

  • I think this is not from magento. I think this issue is caused by the siteground. Because I tried calling the API from my local and its was a success. But when I tried called it from siteground host, it gave me 401 error.

    it is working in default magento i have cross verified with 2-3 instances, if you are facing issue with service provider then do contact them might be there are restrict some external API calls or some ports may be disable in your server. i have edited my answer with working screenshot for reference.
