Hello. When I try to access the api module via a browser, I am not even asked to enter my authentication (login and generated api). I get a exception ServiceNotFoundException: You have requested a non-existent service „shop“. I suspect that some subscriber is trying to get to the ‚shop‘ service, but is there an event that works before entering the api module ? Didn’t find any in all&nbsp;plugins.&nbsp;

I usually get that error when I accidently try to call the [shopwarelink]/api directly.

Have you tried to call “[shopwarelink]/api/articles” for example?

There’s also the possibility that your htaccess might be slightly misconfigured 'n prevents the api from working correctly.
