HTTP Status Code: 401 - However, identical setup working perfectly using Postman?

Hey!

I’m trying to set up using a ‘webhook by zapier’ to pull some info from my Wordpress website, the exact same setup works perfectly, API call and everything is spot on, keys are definitely correct etc but when I try this through zapier it throws up a 401 HTTP error, does everything seem ok in my screenshot? I’m wondering if the ip for zapier is getting blocked or something? Very frustrating!

 

Again the authorisation credentials are definitely accurate as the exact info is being used in Postman and works every time! I’m new to zapier so im wondering if I have set this up incorrectly to cause this error, thank you!

Tom
