401 unauthorized error

[Hunter031]

I am trying to play around with the API methods to create and get users. But I keep getting 401 Unauthorized error. I tried with the admin ID and password but I am not sure why I get 401 unauthorized error. Below is my code and request and response log. I have replaced my actual user id and pwd with *** for security purposes.. Pls advise.

I am getting the same error / problem, any ideas? Using Wordpress 5.x (latest) without any installed plugin

With the following error message

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'wpClient': 
Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.web.client.HttpClientErrorException$Unauthorized: 401 Unauthorized: 

[{"code":"rest_user_cannot_view","message":"Sorry, you are not allowed to list users.","data":{"status":401}}]

Update: Ok, got it. Some plugins just blocked my requests... AND i had to install manually the rest basic auth plugin from git https://github.com/WP-API/Basic-Auth
