Set default product image via REST API

Question

I'm using Magento REST API to create products and upload images. No problems so far, but i can't find a way to set an image as the default image to be displayed on the store using the API.

Is there a way to do so without modifying magento?

I'm using Magento CE 1.9.1.0

Thanks,

• rlecaro2: Have you tried setting its position to 0?

Answer 1

This is the correct way to set the image as "base", "small", "thumbnail" or "swatch".

"product" => {
 "sku" => "test",
 "name" => "Test Product",
 "attribute_set_id" => 4,
 "price" => 84,
 "status" => 1,
 "visibility" => 4,
 "type_id" => "simple",
 "mediaGalleryEntries"=> [{
 "mediaType"=> "image",
 "label"=> "hassel",
 "types" => ["base","small","thumbnail","swatch"],
 "position"=> 0,
 "disabled"=> false,
 "file"=> "path/to/image.jpeg",
 "content"=> {
 "base64EncodedData"=> "base64_encoded_image",
 "type"=> "image/jpeg",
 "name"=> "image_name"
 }
 }]
 }
