getting error 401 (authentication error) in WooCommerce

I just created a WooCommerce site, and when I try to get json data it displays error 401. I tried to access it through postman with basic auth, and through the link: 

(mysite)/wp-json/wc/v2/products?consumer_key=XXXX&consumer_secret=XXXX

with keys that I have generated in WP. In both cases I am getting the same error.

Config: legacy api enabled, WC version 3.4.5, WP version 4.9.8, localhost server by Ampps.

Kindly use "Authorization" (besides the Parameter tab in Postman) choose Oath 1.0, then enter the consumer_key & consumer_secret then click the "SEND" button. That will work!

Add this to top of your htaccess file.

SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1

solved: the new legacy api has a different url to access woocommerce: (mysite)/wc-api/v2/...
