Attaching feature image to post created - using API

Integrations & API
1

So, I’m creating posts using the admin API and it works great.

Can’t figure out how to upload and attach an image as feature image.

Is it a two-step process? First (1) upload over API and then (2) create post using the
"feature_image": "[url]" from step 1? Or how does this work?

Any assistance highly appreciated.

Thank you

That’s right. Upload the image first, get the image reference, then create (or update) the post.

Could you confirm that this is correct? Im uploading the image, which is successful, then creating a post with this data. The feature image variable holds the link to the uploaded image.

    post_data = {
        "title": title,
        "date": date,
        "content": content,
        # "feature_image": feature_image  # Include the image URL here
    }
