401 Unauthorized when creating a new Order Type

Hello,

I want to create a new OrderType using the API, but I'm getting the message "401 Unauthorized",

I sent a post request to the end point /v3/merchants/{mId}/order_types the JSON object is : 

{
 "taxable": true,
"filterCategories":  false,
"label": "Test Order t",
"isHidden": true,
"isDefault":false,
"hoursAvailable": "BUSINESS"
 }

the token is valid because I can get the list of existing order types and the app has MERCHANT_W permission

Can someone please explain to me what's the problem

Can you follow the directions at https://docs.clover.com/build/web-app... and try using curl? If it doesn't work using curl run it with the -voption to make it verbose. Then post the results to a pastebin.com. Note this will expose your token so you might want to obscure some of the token characters before pasting it.

Are you writing an android app? If so how are you obtaining the auth token? Did you follow the instructions at: https://docs.clover.com/build/android-apps/samples/#querying-web-service

Hmm. Not sure what the problem is. You will want to add the header "Content-Type: Application/json" although that shouldn't throw an authorization error.

How did you generate the token?

The end point is /v3/merchants/{mId}/order_types , if that's the issue.

I checked your merchant C1VED12GRTQ3T and it doesn't have any API tokens in the Clover Setup web app. If you are building a web app that you plan to provide to other merchants you are most likely going to need to use oauth:

https://docs.clover.com/build/web-app...

Or you need to generate an API token for your particular merchant if that is all you care about:
