Magento – Magento2 Adding product attribute option via API

apimagento2

I am adding new colors to the colors attribute via API. This works fine, but I want to send all my options in 1 request. Now I have to do multiple POST request to rest/V1/products/attributes/color/options

This is my code

protected $resourcePath = 'rest/V1/products/attributes';

foreach($options as $option) {
$optionData = [];

$optionData = [
    AttributeOptionInterface::LABEL => $option,
    AttributeOptionInterface::SORT_ORDER => 100,
    AttributeOptionInterface::IS_DEFAULT => false,
    AttributeOptionInterface::STORE_LABELS => [
        [
            AttributeOptionLabelInterface::LABEL => $option,
            AttributeOptionLabelInterface::STORE_ID => 1,
        ],
    ],
];

    $this->addColorAttribute($optionData);
}

public function addColorAttribute($optionData)
{
    $attributeCode = 'color';

    $serviceInfo = [
        'rest' => [
            'resourcePath' => $this->resourcePath . '/' . $attributeCode .'/options',
            'httpMethod' => Request::HTTP_METHOD_POST,
        ]
    ];

    return $this->client->request($serviceInfo,
        [
            'attributeCode' => $attributeCode,
            'option' => $optionData,
        ]
    );
}

How could I send all my $optionData to the API in 1 request so all the options are addded to the product attribute color ?

Send them all into either put or Post at /V1/products/attributes/{attributeCode}

and it will create them,

FYI im having problems updating the labels later, which looks like its not possible via the API right now

Magento – Magento 2 Rest API – how to add values to dropdown product attribute

I run into the same issue. After some debugging I found out that the values are used as an array index (e.g. debug the $object->toArray() in Magento\Framework\Model\ResourceModel\Db\AbstractDb::prepareDataForUpdate). At this place the information about the default value and sort order are already removed when using integers as value.

So easily do not use integers as values at this place. When using the backend to create/update an attribute manually, magento uses "option_1", "option_2" and so on for values.

Applied to your example, this would result in:

{
  "option": {
    "label": "Cappuccino",
    "value": "option_6"
  }
}

OT but related: Create an Attribute: When using POST /rest/V1/products/attributes to create an attribute having the options given, the options also won't be saved when using integers as values.
