Why I am getting insufficient scope error by posting json through postman?

I have added headers and token but still having insufficient_scope error by posting json through postman
You must share the details of request to get help. But let me also try to help you out blindly.
I had face the same issue in past and make it possible to resolve the issue by some simple attempts.
Please make sure that your token is correct, its not expired, and if your token is well authorized to make request and get access of the demanding resources from the calling API.
Also make sure that if you have need to add bearer in the start of your token.
Hope it can solve your related issue. Thank You!
Also, check your request method. (I just spent a good 30 minutes trying to figure out why I was failing.) If you have only the listings_r scope, then you can only GET. You must have listings_w to POST. (My problem was copy/pasting several lines of cURL code, and I assume someone else reading this may have done the same.)

How to process Vue/Axios Json payload posted data on Yii2

It took me a while to understand this, being that it was a little obvious. I will answer myself, so other can benefit of the answer and ofcourse to see if there's a better way to do this. The problem was based on Axios/Yii2 but I guess this will apply equally to other frontend libraries/frameworks sending data to Yii2.
I needed to post data from a small form made on Vuejs, sending the request Axios to a Action/Controller on Yii2, so data is sent on a simple POST request and the post is getting to the controller, but I was not able to receive the data on the action, $_POST | $post arrives empty (checked using xdebug).
As much as I remember, this had something to do with security. But I already tried by disabling public $enableCsrfValidation, so that was not the problem.
public $enableCsrfValidation = false;
But no matter what, data was not being added to the request/post data inside Yii2.
The following Image, explains the problem you will find there:
The Axisos method that sends the post with test data.
The Yii2 Action stpoed at the place, I should be able to see data.
The capture of the xdebug variables and data for the request.
The capture of Chrome where you can check the payload is sent.
The answer is as I said "kind of obvious", but I could not see that, and I am sure some other devs will probably fall on this.
After searching like crazy and asking everyone, I tried sending the request by using Postman app, yup the best thing I know to test apis.
Dont forgue to add the xdebug cookie to be able to debug your PHP Endpoint.
There I found the first clue «the obvious part», I was not sending data as a form-data, Axios and other libraries, send the data as a raw (application/json) payload.
This means that Yii2 will no be able to find the data inside the post request, yes its there but Yii2 magic will not work, neither you will find this data inside $GLOBALS or in $_POST.
So reading the Yii2 documentation I found that inside request I can use a function that will help me recovering the Raw data, so to do this use the following line:
$raw_data = Yii::$app->request->getRawBody();
Now, that data gets to you as a simple, raw json string, so use the power of PHP to parse it to an object.
$object= json_decode($raw_data );
And finally use the data inside by calling the properties you look for, sent on the pay load:
Json Payload:
{
"msg":"This is my payload",
"id":"11"
}
To use it:
echo $object->{'msg'}; // prints: This is my payload
So that's the way to handle that, now I would like some other points of view to see if there's a better way or cleaner way to do this. Hope it helps.

Freesound API, POST Request Example Returns Error

I've been attempting to program something that interacts with Freesound.org's API, in a way similar to this example given in the Freesound API documentation...
curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Token {{your_api_key}}" -F
analysis_file=#"/path/to/your_file.json"
'https://www.freesound.org/apiv2/search/content/'
... But when I run this with my details replaced, I get this error:
{"detail":"The similarity server could not be reached or some unexpected error occurred."}
I wonder if anybody knows what might might be the cause of this? As no other info is given and I'm not experienced with restfulness etc.
It seems likely to me that the JSON is not formatted properly? But it was generated with precisely the application the documentation refers to in the example I got that code from. This is that JSON:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kjpf9zzftsxzoar/test.json?dl=0
I'd be very grateful for any help. Cheers.
You can validate your json in online validator like jsonlint.com. And it shows the json content is a valid one.
Do you happen to know what is the error code its returning.
Here's what I'm getting from the request, looking at it in PAW:

WooCommerce api authentication error oauth_consumer_key parameter is missing

I try to fetch all product data list in json from WooCommerce API and type address bar http://www.batata.in/wc-api/v3/orders. But it give an error:
{"errors"[{"code":"woocommerce_api_authentication_error","message":"oauth_consumer_key parameter is missing"}]}
I tried all things but issue is not fixed. Rest API is on.
If anybody know any other way to find product list in json format from WooCommerce WordPress plugins, then please tell me.
I have faced the same problem. After some research, I have solved this issue. Kindly check that your site secure or not [http or https]. I missed the "s" for http.
Please note that you need to provide consumer key, nonce, signature with your rest api call. Following is the format which worked for me.
http://SomeURL.com/wc-api/v2/orders?oauth_consumer_key=########&oauth_timestamp=######&oauth_nonce=#############&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA256&oauth_signature=##########################
For generating nonce and signature I recommend you use some wrapper available for your platform. I used php so got a nice library here.
https://github.com/woocommerce/wc-api-php
Important:- Even after following all above steps correct I got the same issue you faced. It kept giving me error "oauth_consumer_key parameter is missing" which actually was misleading. The issue I figured out was the basic http auth. I had http authentication in place so the curl request I used to fire was returning 401 unauthorized. If you are using php you will understand following line.
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "USERNAME:PASSWORD");
And it worked. So point here is you can try this or play around with your curl/socket or any client you are building and don't focus on the error message as it is misleading most of the time.
Sandipa Mukherjee's answer is right.
For http:// additional oauth parameters are required, because it's not safe.
My suggestion is to use the https:// server for wordpress.
