Research direction

Start by reproducing the 401 response against a WooCommerce site hosted at a path such as example.com/testsite, using both the current and legacy APIs. Determine whether the path-based installation is supported and document the confirmed limitation or the specific configuration needed for the API to work.

Description

I have a test site located at a certain page "example.com/testsite".

But when trying to use the API I can only get an 'woocommerce_rest_cannot_view' 401 error.

Even disabling all security or using the legacy api doesn't yield success.

Is what I'm doing possible or should I give up?
