It has been days and I have tried creating multiple users also I tried it with version 4.0.2.3 and version 3 also both of the send me the same response. What should I do. I am currently running it on locahost.


POST http://localhost/opencart-4/index.php?r ... ount/login

Raw Response:
{"error":"Warning: Incorrect API Key!"}

This is what I got after many different attempts via postman but I am still unable to generate my api token. I did use a new API key here with my ip and localhost in the ip sessions of that api.

For OpenCart 3 you wnat /index.php?route=api/login as the URL and to POST in the default encoding not JSON.
