Adding images to variation gallery using REST API

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for getting back to us.

I found this ticket in your support database: https://getwooplugins.com/ticket/23572/. As it’s already 4 years old, I wonder if there is now a more accessible option available.

Please follow this: https://getwooplugins.com/ticket/23572/. We didn’t change the previous process.

Thank You

Hi Stefan,

Please check the official documentation to create a product using API: https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#create-a-product

You can read this article to get an idea to insert/update products using API:

Then follow this reply:

In that filter, you are getting the $request parameter to push your own request. You may push your gallery image IDs using the additional request and update the post meta key woo_variation_gallery_images with those IDs.

Here is an example:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_rest_pre_insert_product_variation_object', function( $variation, $request, $creating ){
if ( is_array( $request['variation_images'] ) ) {
update_post_meta( $request['id'], 'woo_variation_gallery_images', $request['variation_images'] );
}
return apply_filters( "custom_woocommerce_rest_pre_insert_product_variation_object", $variation, $request, $creating );
}, 10, 3 );
I hope this will help. If you have more questions after the above snippets, I recommend you contact a Woo Developer or study API as much as you can.

Thank You
