Parsing array values to WooCommerce REST API

Question

I'm trying to create a new product with multiple images using WooCommerce REST API

Here is the REST API syntax for images src: https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#create-a-product

'images' => [
    [
        'src' => 'http://demo.woothemes.com/woocommerce/wp-content/uploads/sites/56/2013/06/T_2_front.jpg'
    ],
    [
        'src' => 'http://demo.woothemes.com/woocommerce/wp-content/uploads/sites/56/2013/06/T_2_back.jpg'
    ]
]

Now on PHP I have images URLs in an array $images like this:

Array
(
    [0] => https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61imqvdVv1L._SL1000_.jpg
    [1] => https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61CpVDq9iwL._SL1000_.jpg
    [2] => https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61IMXxbcfpL._SL1000_.jpg
    [3] => https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61HFUejnppL._SL1000_.jpg
    [4] => https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51whKF45l0L._SL1000_.jpg
    [5] => https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51uPvXbo3IL._SL1000_.jpg
    [6] => https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61sNz9zDalL._SL1000_.jpg
    [7] => https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51oytt8fP5L._SL1000_.jpg
    [8] => https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61Qarg%2BmjrL._SL1000_.jpg
)

I'm trying to figure out how to put $images array to the REST API but still stuck.

Any helps would be much appreciated!

I'm not sure what would be the best option. Here is the REST API docs for creating new product: woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/… — Anthony L.

You can just create a new array with index images like:

$yourImageArray = array(
    'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61imqvdVv1L._SL1000_.jpg',
    'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61CpVDq9iwL._SL1000_.jpg',
    'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61IMXxbcfpL._SL1000_.jpg',
    'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61HFUejnppL._SL1000_.jpg',
    'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51whKF45l0L._SL1000_.jpg',
    'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51uPvXbo3IL._SL1000_.jpg',
    'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61sNz9zDalL._SL1000_.jpg',
    'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51oytt8fP5L._SL1000_.jpg',
    'https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61Qarg%2BmjrL._SL1000_.jpg'
);

$newArray = array();
foreach($yourImageArray as $key => $val){
    $newArray['images'][$key] = array('src'=>$val);
}

echo "<pre>";
print_r($newArray);

Thanks man. I tried this but doesn't work: $data = [ 'name' => $product_name, 'type' => 'simple', 'regular_price' => $product_price, 'sale_price' => $product_sale_price, 'description' => $product_description, 'categories' => [ [ 'id' => $product_category ], ], $newArray ];

@AnthonyL.: that is the new story let me think aboutthis.

print_r($data) check whats wrong in your complete array. @AnthonyL.

I extract the image (the first array level) out, then added as 'images' => $newArray and it worked. Thank you so much
