Adding Variations to Productive API

Hi @nicodeluxe

Am I correct:
1. Create Attribute like size, color
2. get those attributes id and add it to the product

This approach should ideally get you to achieve this.

Here’s how you can create attributes: https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/?php#create-a-product-attribute

Note the variable id that you’ve created from the link above. Then go ahead and create the variation, by following these steps: https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/?shell#create-a-product-variation

curl -X POST https://example.com/wp-json/wc/v3/products/22/variations \
    -u consumer_key:consumer_secret \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
  "regular_price": "9.00",
  "image": {
    "id": 423
  },
  "attributes": [
    {
      "id": 6,
      "option": "Black"
    }
  ]
}'

As you can see:

"attributes": [
    {
      "id": 6,
      "option": "Black"
    }
  ]

is what you can use to add the product attribute name and its id.

I hope this helps!

Hi @nicodeluxe

The Attribute term like “black”, white etc must be added before or is it added automatically?

I would recommend creating attributes first. As mentioned in the previous example I shared, while creating variations, you will need to assign attributes, as mentioned in the following example:

“attributes”: [
{
“id”: 6,
“option”: “Black”
}
]

So, in this case, the "id": 6, comes from the attribute that was created previously, and had the id of 6. Only then can it be assigned to the variation.

I hope that helps!

Glad to hear that, @nicodeluxe
