Research direction

No repository files or tests are named. Start by running the provided Python examples and comparing the requests and 403 response for products with the successful orders and customers calls; done means establishing whether the wrapper or the WooCommerce endpoint causes the failure and documenting a reproducible next step.

Description

Hello! Thanks for this library, though I'm having a little trouble retrieving products specifically. I have no trouble retrieving e.g. orders and customers.

This works:

import os
from woocommerce import API

WOOCOMMERCE_API_CONSUMER_KEY = os.environ.get('WOOCOMMERCE_API_CONSUMER_KEY')
WOOCOMMERCE_API_CONSUMER_SECRET = os.environ.get('WOOCOMMERCE_API_CONSUMER_SECRET')  # noqa

wcapi = API(
    url='https://xxxxxxxx.org',
    consumer_key=WOOCOMMERCE_API_CONSUMER_KEY,
    consumer_secret=WOOCOMMERCE_API_CONSUMER_SECRET,
    version='wc/v3',
    user_agent='PostmanRuntime/7.26.5'
)

data = wcapi.get('orders')
# data = wcapi.get('customers')

print(data.status_code)

Trying wcapi.get('products'), however, throws a 403 status code:

import os
from woocommerce import API

WOOCOMMERCE_API_CONSUMER_KEY = os.environ.get('WOOCOMMERCE_API_CONSUMER_KEY')
WOOCOMMERCE_API_CONSUMER_SECRET = os.environ.get('WOOCOMMERCE_API_CONSUMER_SECRET')  # noqa

wcapi = API(
    url='https://xxxxxxxx.org',
    consumer_key=WOOCOMMERCE_API_CONSUMER_KEY,
    consumer_secret=WOOCOMMERCE_API_CONSUMER_SECRET,
    version='wc/v3',
    user_agent='PostmanRuntime/7.26.5'
)

data = wcapi.get('products')

print(data.status_code)

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
