We have a requirement to use local images on the product. Due to the high demand, we would like to upload product images using the rest amdin API, but I don’t know how to generate “attachment” data.
Topic summary
Main issue: how to upload local product images via the REST Admin API and what to provide in the “attachment” field.
Key clarification:
- “Attachment” should contain the image data encoded in Base64 (a text representation of binary data).
- A reference tool was provided to convert image files to Base64.
Actionable steps:
- Take the local image file and convert it to a Base64 string.
- Use that Base64 string as the value of the product image’s “attachment” field in the API request.
Notes:
- The included screenshot appears illustrative and is not required to understand the solution.
Outcome and status:
- Clear guidance given on generating the required data format for uploads.
- No conflicting views; the thread appears resolved with a straightforward solution.
Hey @luoooofei
Attachment is a Base64 version of the image. https://base64.guru/converter/encode/image
