I'm getting data from jSON file and trying to setup the images for a product, My goal is - need to develop a way to extract/download images from JSON responses and set images to related product //$product_data is getting the response from Json
$product_data = $_REQUEST['data'];
$product = new WC_Product_Simple();
$product->set_name( $product_data['Title'] ); // it's working
$product->set_status( 'publish' );
$product->save();
If it has multiple images that need to be assigned to a product, the first image need to assign as the featured image/thumbnail, and then assign the rest of the images as the product gallery thumbnails.
$product_images = [];
$count = 0;
foreach($product_data as $product_key => $product_value):
if (strpos($product_key, 'Image') !== false):
$product_img_upload = wc_rest_upload_image_from_url(esc_url_raw($product_value));
$product_img_id = wc_rest_set_uploaded_image_as_attachment($product_img_upload, $product_data);
// Add image ID to array.
$product_images[] = $product_img_id;
$count++;
endif;
endforeach;
if (!empty( $product_images ) ) {
$product->set_image_id( $product_images[0] );
array_shift($product_images);
$product->set_gallery_image_ids( $product_images);
}
