Hi,

Ensure that the API key you are using has the necessary permissions to access order_states. You can check and set these permissions in the PrestaShop BackOffice under Advanced Parameters > Webservices

Usually, for basic authentication, you provide a username and password in the request header. Ensure you are encoding them properly.
If you need to include the API key directly in the URL, it should be done as &ws_key=WEBSERVICE_KEY, which seems to work based on your message
Use tools like Postman or cURL to test the API endpoint with both basic authentication and the API key method to ensure the endpoint itself is functioning correctly.
curl -u 'username:password' 'https://mydomainexample.com/api/order_states?display=full&output_format=JSON'

The API does not belong to me. I only know the url they sent the request to. Do they now need to send the request as &ws_key=web_service_key?
