Error 401 when trying to save PA-API 5.0 keys in localhost

  • Hello,

    I am trying to test your ASA1 plugin for a new Amazon niche site I’m building.
    Unfortunately, when I enter my API keys, I get this message :

    Error: Error calling PA-API 5.0! HTTP Status Code: 401 Error Type: InvalidSignature Error Message: The request has not been correctly signed. If you are using an AWS SDK, requests are signed for you automatically; otherwise, go to https://webservices.amazon.fr/paapi5/documentation/sending-request.html#signing.

    Note that this error appears only in localhost, but it connects well on my other WordPress that is online.

    I read other related topics, but you said it was caused by the Amazon account (less than 3 sales, or wrong keys). This is not a problem with my Amazon Affiliate account, because I already have many sales, and my keys are working in another similar plugin (Auto Amazon Links), even in localhost mode.

    Please help me with this problem, because your plugin seems to meet my needs.
    And I’d like to begin with ASA1 before buying ASA2 later…

    Thank you for your request. In most cases, the problem indicates that the credentials are incorrect. Are you sure that you have entered the correct data on your local installation, identical to your productive site?

    I’d be happy to take a closer look if you’d like. The best way to exchange more details about your installations is via a support ticket you can create here: https://www.wp-amazon-plugin.com/support/
