Product URL Images

scott74

I have a demo account for testing for potential integration with client.
Question is does the ecomm store have to be active to pass the URl to the product Image?

Loading relations of SaleLines and SaleLines.Item but not seeing it.

When looking at the product in the back end I uploaded an image then if I go to click on view in store it says its hidden but I don't have access to the ecom part so just wondering if that is the only way it show in the API call?

Thanks Scott

If you review the API docs, you will see the SaleLine endpoint has a load_relations to Item. But that appears to be where things stop. You apparently would have to make a secondary API call to the Image endpoint (https://developers.lightspeedhq.com/retail/endpoints/Item-Image/) in order to determine the URI's of the item's associated images. It could be a similar scenario if you wanted to pull employee info that's associated with a sale. If you want to get the employee's full name and whatnot, that'd be a separate API call.

Like this in a generic sense:

1) Get the sales
2) Iterate through the sales
3) Get the image data from each sale
4) Get the employee data from each sale

Makes sense... I did have to do that with Employee's..

This pulled some data in

https://api.lightspeedapp.com/API/Account/{{Account_ID}}/Image.json?load_relations=all


Looks like you have to build out the URL from the parse but its in Cloudinary already so saves a step.... 

Are all these images then hosted on LightSpeeds Cloudinary account?

@scott74, yes

Having little trouble displaying image after building URL.. Says to use this as the base

https://res.cloudinary.com/lightspeed-retail/image/upload/{{add your cloudinary settings here}}/{{public ID here}}/{file name here}}

Here is my settings - c_mpad,h_900,w_900

Here is my return public id - cdqgoif4fgi22rstojlg

My Return File Name - Bev 40.jpg

When I build this URL it doesn't display

{baseImageURL}/{settings}/{publicID}.{extension}

https://res.cloudinary.com/lightspeed-retail/image/upload/c_mpad,h_900,w_900/cdqgoif4fgi22rstojlg.Bev 40.jpg

Any help would be appreciated. Not sure if these reside on light speed and mapped to cloudinary or if we are supposed to upload them to our own cloudinary account

@scott74 you've made a mistake in the URL, the final path needs to contain the publicID, not the file path. 

Like so:

https://res.cloudinary.com/lightspeed-retail/image/upload/{{add your cloudinary settings here}}/{{public ID here}}.{{file_extension}}

Cloudinary hosts your images, you don't need your own account

I see now... Was not used to pulling an image without the file name.
Thanks

@scott74, I've edited it now. Correct! Just one iteration of the publicID with the file extension will do
