Well, it all was due to a user rights setting in LocalSettings.php:
$wgGroupPermissions['*'    ]['read']            = false;

Since I want to keep this setting, is it possible to enable access to 
the API only though settings in LocalSettings.php?
The following did not help:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['writeapi'] = true;
