Magento – Upload Image Magento API

image-uploadmagento-1.9soap

I'm creating a SOAP v2 api in Magento, and one of the methods is to upload an image to the Magento media folder.
So my question is: how can I send an image to magento without using a form? and how can I upload it to the media folder.

The easiest way is place images to media/import folder before and then use

$product->addImageToMediaGallery($filePath, array ('image','small_image','thumbnail'), false, false);

function.

Check this comment for the full description of this function addImageToMediaGallery copy the image file to media folder

If you can't upload images, you can use two ways:

Send images to API as strings and on your side use file_put_contents to save it
Send images to API as links and on your side use file_get_contents/file_put_contents to get/save them

You can set the base image, small image and thumbnail image like this

$proxy->call($sessionId, 'product_media.update', array(
    'Sku',
    $imageFilename,
    array('position' => 2, 'types' => array('image', 'small_image', thumbnail) /* Lets do it main image for product */)
));

Magento – MIME type not valid when uploading image using REST API

After base64 decoding the image you provided, I noticed it is the PNG image, not JPEG.

Try changing the "type" attribute in your JSON to "image/png".

Additionally, you should add file extension to your "name" attribute.

The example below worked fine for me.

{
        "entry": {
            "media_type": "image",
            "label": "Image",
            "position": 1,
            "disabled": false,
            "types": [
                "image",
                "small_image",
                "thumbnail"
            ],
            "file": "/m/b/mb01-blue-0.png",
            "content": {
                "base64EncodedData": "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",
