I'm using wordpress REST API for sending posts. I uploaded the media already on the wordpress and i have the urls, now I want while sending the post request for creating a post, i could give it the featured image url like other fields easily.

Is there any way to do this?

When you create or update a post, you can pass a featured_media argument in the POST data containing the media file's post ID. (It appears you need to have the media item's post ID, not the URL, for this to work.)

  • @pat-j Since I cant pass the url with the request, do I have to register a custom endpoint for this or there is a way for sending custom parameters to this route ?

  • You might have to make a custom endpoint that returns the attachment's ID, using attachment_url_to_postid(), on the REST API server.
