Issue with authentication consumer key or consumer secret invalid

I’m creating credentials using the endpoint /wc-auth/v1/authorize with scope=read_write most times the consumer key and secret that I get are valid, but a couple of times I get consumer key or consumer secrets that are invalid when I try to use them later in code like this:

wcapi = API(
    url=  shop_url,
    consumer_key= key,
    consumer_secret= secret
)
response = wcapi.get("orders?page=1")
# Then response.text is {"errors":[{"code":"woocommerce_api_authentication_error","message":"Consumer Secret is invalid"}]}
#  or {"errors":[{"code":"woocommerce_api_authentication_error","message":"Consumer Key is invalid"}]}

Has this issue been detected yet? Is it related to the python wrapper or woocommerce plugin?

Yes, of course, since can be an error in the nonce, here:

@claudiosanches, I’m actually running into this now. For some reason when I use http:// in the store_url it’s working fine, but when I use https:// it’s telling me the secret is invalid.

You mentioned this means there’s a problem at the server. Can you elaborate on that? I’m not sure what to tell my server guy…??
