What is Magento APIs❓

Magento API is a framework that offers developers and integrators a good method to maximize web services that communicate well with the Magneto system.

The URI we are gonna need to create the product is.

https://MagentoHost/rest/V1/products

Note: Your website URL will come in place of Magento Host.

The payload body, which we will send along with the request.

{
"product": {
"sku": "256478945148",
"name": "Sample Product",
"attribute_set_id": "4",
"price": "250",
"status": "1",
"visibility": "4",
"type_id": "simple",
"weight": "1",
"extension_attributes": {
"category_links": [
{
"position": "0",
"category_id": "6"
}
],
"stock_item": {
"qty": "50",
"is_in_stock": true
}
},
"custom_attributes": [
{
  "attribute_code": "express_delivery_product",
  "value": "1"
},
{
  "attribute_code": "is_grocery_product",
  "value": "0"
}
]
}
}

Note: The custom attributes are based on the product attributes defined in the backend.

Also, we need to set the content type to JSON format in the header section.

Content-Type : application/json

Finally, the authorization key, which you need to get from the backend.
