Title: Attributes being truncated when using API Last modified: May 23, 2022 --- # Attributes being truncated when using API * Resolved [arhamm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arhamm/) * (@arhamm) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/attributes-being-truncated-when-using-api/) * 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?

The attributes returned correctly without breaking up. * Thread Starter [arhamm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arhamm/) * (@arhamm) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/attributes-being-truncated-when-using-api/#post-15677136) * Thank you for getting back to me. * Here is the request I’m making: * ``` curl -X POST https://domain/wp-json/wc/v3/products \ -u ck:cs \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "name": "Premium Quality", "type": "simple", "regular_price": "21.99", "description": "Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.

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](https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#list-all-products) * Let us know how it goes. * [limabu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/limabu/) * (@limabu) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/attributes-being-truncated-when-using-api/#post-15681710) * 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” ] * } * [Mirko P.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rainfallnixfig/) * (@rainfallnixfig) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/attributes-being-truncated-when-using-api/#post-15681981) * Hi [@limabu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/limabu/), * Thanks so much for your comment on this thread. * [@arhamm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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. * Thread Starter [arhamm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arhamm/) * (@arhamm) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/attributes-being-truncated-when-using-api/#post-15683015) * Hi [@limabu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/limabu/) * You are right, that fixed my issue. * Thanks and thank you [@rainfallnixfig](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rainfallnixfig/) [@kaushiksomaiya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaushiksomaiya/) for helping * Regards * [aetta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chiape/) * (@chiape) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/attributes-being-truncated-when-using-api/#post-15683091) * Hi [@arhamm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arhamm/)! * We’re happy to hear that!
