When I try to fetch products using the official REST API, returned product contains the a property named images which is an array and contains the URL to image of product. But when I fetch using this method, it fetches other details but not the image.

    $productsQuery= wc_get_products(array(
        'limit' => 10,
        'status' => 'publish',
    ));
    $products = array();
    foreach ($productsQuery as $product) {
        $products[] = $product->get_data();
    }
    return new WP_REST_Response($products, 200);

how can I make this to return the images property as well.

The WC_Product object has an image_id (string) and an gallery_image_ids (array) attribute for product image and product's gallery images. Both of them are attachment ids, so you should get the image src from it's attachment id with the wp_get_attachment_image_url() method and add it to your $products array.

  • I already tried a similar solution, but getting this error Call to undefined method WC_Product_Simple::wp_get_attachment_image_url()

    There is no such method WC_Product_Simple::wp_get_attachment_image_url(). You should call the method by itself. $image_src = wp_get_attachment_image_url( $attachment_id ). Read the method docs.

  • alright, I did, but the problem is that It gives the html tag not although it includes the src, but can I somehow get just URL of image ?

  • @Lint I think you called wp_get_attachment_image() function instead. It returns the html tag. The function that I mentioned is wp_get_attachment_image_url() which gives you the source of image.

  • Alright, thanks. Just a little question. When I use wc_get_product(PRODUCT_ID) function, it returns some properties not all. But when I retrieve the same product using WooCommerce REST API URL. It returns all the data that is returned by above mentioned method, also it includes images and other attributes automatically. Can I get the same properties using a local function and not the rest api url ? Thanks in advance
