Magento 2 REST API - get product by slug, or get media in REST search - rest

Question

I have an ember app which I'm using as the front end. I need to fetch a product from the REST api but instead of using the SKU, I need to use the slug. So I access the following endpoint which works fine: http://*.com/index.php/rest/V1/products?searchCriteria[filter_groups][0][filters][0][field]=url_key&searchCriteria[filter_groups][0][filters][0][value]=daniels-icecream-slug
However, the result is obviously a product list as opposed to the product endpoint, so some of the data is omitted. Namely, the media_gallery_entries field. So is there anyways I can either return this data in the /products?searchCriteria endpoint or is there a way I can fetch /products/:slug instead of /products/:sku for the product endpoint?

Answer 1

you need to define conditionType as well with the API Call like following
V1/products/?searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][field]=url_key&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][value]=%shirt%&searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][condition_type]=like
Parameters :
searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][field]=url_key
searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][value]=%shirt%
searchCriteria[filterGroups][0][filters][0][condition_type]=like
Note: Make sure to prefix & suffix % in value as per your requirements.
I am using the same in my api Calls and it works

Answer 2

I'm using Magento v2.2, and when I do a search, each item has a image attribute (in the custom_attributes list) that mangento automatically adds to a product when up add an image to it:
{
"items": [{
"sku": "MH07-XS-Black",
"name": "Hero Hoodie-XS-Black",
"custom_attributes": [{
"attribute_code": "description",
"value": "<p>Gray and black color blocking sets you apart as the Hero Hoodie keeps you warm on the bus, campus or cold mean streets. Slanted outsize front pockets keep your style real . . . convenient.</p>\n<p>• Full-zip gray and black hoodie.<br />• Ribbed hem.<br />• Standard fit.<br />• Drawcord hood cinch.<br />• Water-resistant coating.</p>"
},
{
"attribute_code": "image",
"value": "/m/h/mh07-black_main.jpg"
},
{
"attribute_code": "small_image",
"value": "/m/h/mh07-black_main.jpg"
},
{
"attribute_code": "thumbnail",
"value": "/m/h/mh07-black_main.jpg"
},
{
"attribute_code": "color",
"value": "49"
},
{
"attribute_code": "minimal_price",
"value": "54.0000"
},
{
"attribute_code": "category_ids",
"value": [
"15"
]
},
{
"attribute_code": "options_container",
"value": "container2"
},
{
"attribute_code": "required_options",
"value": "0"
},
{
"attribute_code": "has_options",
"value": "0"
},
{
"attribute_code": "url_key",
"value": "hero-hoodie-xs-black"
},
{
"attribute_code": "msrp_display_actual_price_type",
"value": "0"
},
{
"attribute_code": "tax_class_id",

},
{
"attribute_code": "size",

}
]
}]
}
