How to add product using REST api.

Getting below error -

Invalid auth/bad request (got a 500, expected HTTP/1.1 20X or a redirect) 
Service temporary unavailable

I tried,

 $oauthClient->fetch($resourceUrl, array(), 'GET', array('Content-Type' => 'application/json', 'Accept' => 'application/json'));

For above error Solution

In admin,

 System -> Permissions -> Users -> Rest Role -> Select Admin.

Step to Add Product Using REST Api

Step-1: Admin Configuration

1. Create user Role Go to system>Web services>REST - Roles: Click on Add Admin Role and create an Admin Role for REST. Role info: Provide the role name example 'Admin'

Resource Access: Set :All Role Users: Select and admin user to whom you wish to provide Admin REST role

2. Go to system>Web services>REST Attributes: Select Admin

Set: Resource Access as "All"

3. Go to system>Web services>OAUTH Consumers:

Click on 'Add New' button, it will create a new Oauth consumer, note down the Consumer Key and Consumer secret.

Step-2 : script for create new product via REST API

create test_api.php file at your host example: location: http://yourdomain/test_api.php you have to post below fields in json encode format

$productData = json_encode(array(
 'type_id' => 'simple',
 'attribute_set_id' => 4,
 'sku' => 'simple' . uniqid(),
 'weight' => 1,
 'status' => 1,
 'visibility' => 4,
 'name' => 'Simple Product',
 'description' => 'Simple Description',
 'short_description' => 'Simple Short Description',
 'price' => 99.95,
 'tax_class_id' => 0,
 ));

• jassi: I got error - Fatal error: Class 'OAuth' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\magento1.9\magento\test_api.php on line 19
• Rajesh Hothi: please check extension=oauth.so into your php.ini if not found then put extension=oauth.so in php.ini if staill not working Installing PHP Extension for Oauth : 1. Download php_oauth.dll file and add it under C:\xampp\php\ext\ 2. add [PHP_OAUTH] extension=php_oauth.dll in php.ini
• jassi: I have done above steps again and now that error is not coming. But product is not getting added and getting below error. [message:protected] => Invalid auth/bad request (got a 401, expected HTTP/1.1 20X or a redirect)
• zus: If i try to get products using www.abc.com/api/rest/products i getting 404 error. How can i solve this issue? Is necessary oAuth should be installed in server? @Piyush
