WooCommerce rest api return woocommerce_rest_cannot_view always

Question

I have generated a consumer key and consumer secret. The website has SSL installed. I have also installed plugins required for JSON and REST services. This is how the url looks like:

https://<url>/wp-json/wc/v1/products

If you want to test

Consumer Key: ck_8add1dc9101f8793a731d6b9aeaadd319fbedf37
Consumer secret: cs_18980264faa482536874e4544dfce9c090c7e927

When I am trying to get(GET) the product details using Basic Auth by using POSTMAN, a Chrome plugin, I get a JSON response like:

{
  "code": "woocommerce_rest_cannot_view",
  "message": "Sorry, you cannot list resources.",
  "data": {
    "status": 401
  }
}

I have both the READ and WRITE permissions corresponding to the Consumer key. I'm testing this RestApi on PostMan RestClient and i disabled SSL certificate verification on this app settings

The API credentials do not have permissions to read data from woocommerce. Please update the permissions from the woo API settings page and make sure the credentials have Read/Write access or at least Read access.
