Attributes being truncated when using API

Resolved arhamm

Hello,

I’m using the Woocommerce API to list my products.

I’m having an issue with one of my attributes, “Model”.

The value I want to use for my “Model” attribute is “D5600 32GB”.

Every time I list using the API instead of “D5600 32GB” there are two values, one is “D5600” and the other is “32GB”.

How can I stop it from truncating the values of my attributes?

Hi there!

Thanks for contacting us. 🙂

I understand you are trying to list the products via WooCommerce Rest API but the attributes are breaking up into two when they have a space.

Could you share details of the request you are making and the JSON response that you get?

Also, could you show us the code you are using to display the products?

I did some tests using the /wp-json/wc/v3/products endpoint but I wasn’t able to reproduce this issue. The attributes returned correctly without breaking up.

Here is the request I’m making:

}

For now I’m looking at the products from the backend and I can see two options instead of the only one I’m submitting

Thanks again

Hi @arhamm,

Thanks for sharing the request and the JSON response.

I see what you mean with the separate values.

I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue though same as Kaushik mentioned earlier.

Can you try with all plugins disabled (except WooCommerce) and with a default theme like Storefront? Also, make sure you’re sending a GET HTTP request as per support documentation.

https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#list-all-products

Let us know how it goes.

We had the same issue. You have to send the options in an array.
You’re missing the [] – characters which need to embrace your “D5600 32GB”.
I hope this helps!

See example down below:

“attributes”: [
{
“name”: “COLORE”,
“position”: 0,
“visible”: false,
“variation”: true,
“options”: [ “Black Blue” ]

}

Hi @limabu,

Thanks so much for your comment on this thread.

@arhamm can you try adding [ ] square brackets and see if it works? You can see that those brackets are also shown in the image I shared above for the Model attribute value.

Best.
