Trouble Connecting WordPress REST API to Make Need Help With Authorization

How To

Hi everyone :waving_hand:,

I’m working on a scenario in Make where I’m trying to connect to a custom endpoint on my WordPress site using the HTTP module.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:
I set the method to GET
Provided the correct URL (e.g., https://example.com/wp-json/myplugin/v1/data)
-Tried using basic authentication with username/password

But I keep getting a 403 Forbidden error.

Questions:

  1. Do I need to use an application password instead?
  2. Is there a better way to handle WordPress API authentication with Make?
  3. Any example of working headers or connection setup?

Thanks in advance! :folded_hands:
Happy to share more details if needed.

You probably inserted an absolute (full) URL into the URL field.

If you read the description below it, it says:

Enter a path relative to https://__________ … For example: __________

So you simply need to OMIT the first part of the URL that will be added for you.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
