How to add product image via the woocommerce REST API? - php

Question

I am working with the Woocommerce REST API and need to add a product to the store.
It worked before. Now I have this error:
stdClass Object ( [errors] => Array (
[0] => stdClass Object ( [code] =>
woocommerce_api_invalid_remote_product_image
[message] => Error getting remote image
https://www.google.lt/images/srpr/logo11w.png ) ) )
Here is the documentation for adding a product via the WooCommerce REST API
http://woothemes.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#create-a-product
Here is my code:
$dataArray = array(
'title' => 'xxxxxxxxxx',
'description' => 'description1',
'price' => '69',
'sku' => 'sku2',
'tags' => 'tag1, tag2, tag3',
'color' => array('red', 'blue'),
'size' => array('S', 'M'),
'image' => 'https://www.google.lt/images/srpr/logo11w.png'
);
public function addProduct($data)
{
$wc_api = $this->_getClient();
$newProductData = array(
'product' => array(
'title' => $data['title'],
'type' => 'variable',
'regular_price' => $data['price'],
'description' => $data['description'],
'sku' => $data['sku'],
'tags' => [ $data['tags'] ],
'images' => [ array('src' => $data['image'], 'position' => '0') ],
'virtual' => true
)
);
return $wc_api->create_product($newProductData);
}
I'm using this client to call the REST API

EDITED:
If I get image from wordpress where woocommerce is hosted then all is fine. But, if I use a link from another site then I get an error.

Answer 1

I had a similar issue and the error that cURL was generating inside WordPress which leads to woocommerce_api_invalid_remote_product_image was {"errors":{"http_request_failed":["SSLRead() return error -9806"]},"error_data":[]} which means, according to Asaph in https://stackoverflow.com/a/26538127/266531,
php is compiled with a version of cURL that uses Apple's Secure
Transport under Yosemite and the target of the URL request doesn't
support SSLv3 (which was probably disabled due to the POODLE
vulnerability).
My guess is that you are experiencing errors with using SSL over cURL.
Have you tried it with an http link rather thank https?
If you can debug the server side, take a look at what's happening inside class-wc-api-products.php around line 1700. That's what's generating the error. You may be experiencing SSL errors.
If it is the same type of SSL issue, then your possible solutions are
Use a non-secure image link (http instead of https), or
Follow Asaph's steps to install PHP using OpenSSL instead of SecureSSL in his answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/26538127/266531

In Woocommerce REST API liblary You can also set option to dont validate SSL.
$options = array(
'debug' => true,
'return_as_array' => false,
'validate_url' => false,
'timeout' => 60,
'ssl_verify' => false,
);
