In this article, Beehexa will show you how to custom product image using Shopify API with Postman.
GET all product images for a product
1. Go to the Products feature, and select the product you want to get the image. In this video, let’s choose Acer Laptop Computer 2019
Look at the last numbers at the end of the URL link. That’s product ID: remember those numbers because we’ll use them later.
2. Go to Postman, and click the + icon to create a new request
3. Click Authorization
4. From the Type drop-down menu, select Basic auth
In the Username and Password fields, please enter your store’s private API key and password that we’ve created in the previous video
5. Select GET for the applicable HTTP methodÂ
6. Add API endpoint URL
/admin/api/2020-10/products/{product-id}/images.jsonIf you can’t find {product-id}, you could come back Shopify dashboard and look at the number in step 1
7. When finished, click Send
