Problem with Magento 2.1 REST API "option values ​​not specified"

[vittorio_emmermann]

Good Morning!  

I'm currently building my first Magento project, but I'm a veteran PHP developer for years. Now I face a pesky problem.  

My request is an import of an XML via an API to solve and that works quite well with PHP and the REST API ... At least the creation of the products and categories ...

But if I contact the "..... / options "and then post to the" ... / childs "I ALWAYS get this error:  

{"message": "option values ​​not specified"}  

Anyone experience with it? I'm looking forward to your answers!

Hi @vittorio_emmermann

Does it mean you are trying to create a product custom options using Magento 's Rest API ?

Yes! I've added the configurable product and the 10 simple products with the custom attribute... I worked close to this tutorial:

https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.2/rest/tutorials/configurable-product/config-product-intro.htm...

Nice workarround, but not the one thing i need...

I need attributes because of filtering and stock-management. :/ I need it for sizes..

Hi @vittorio_emmermann

okay - so you mean you would like to create a configurable product options using rest api ? configuration options like color , size etc ? -

Because for configurable product - AKAIK - using API first you need to create the simple products with specific attributes like color and size etc and after creation of that simple product you need to create a configurable product using REST api - and assigned those simple product to this configurable product !

so you can manage inventory and size accordingly 

refer this link for the same it might helps you what you are trying to achieve  - http://brijeshtech.in/create-configurable-product-by-rest-api-in-magento2/

Let me know if you still have any issue on this , or if i missed out something

Hello @vittorio_emmermann,

Please check below an example of a configurable product example

 {
      "product":{
        "sku":"KudosConfig",
        "name":"Kudos Configurable",
        "price":30,
        "status":1,
        "type_id":"configurable",
        "attribute_set_id":4,
         "extension_attributes":{
           "stock_item":{
             "is_in_stock":true
           },
           "configurable_product_options":[
             {
               "attribute__id":"193",
               "label":"Colour",
               "position":0,
               "values":[
                 {
                   "value_index":340
                 },
                 {
                   "value_index":341
                 }
               ],
               "product_id":299
             },
             {
               "attribute__id":"192",
               "label":"Size",
               "position":1,
               "values":[
                 {
                   "value_index":343
                 },
                 {
                   "value_index":342
                 }
               ],
               "product_id":299
             }
           ],
         "configurable_product_links":[
           300,
           301,
           302,
           303
         ]
       }
     }
   }

Also, here is an example of simple product with custom options

{
      "option": {
        "productSku": "24-WB04",
        "optionId": 0,
        "title": "Material",

        "price": 0,
        "priceType": "fixed",

           "price": 0,
           "priceType": "fixed",
           "sku": ""        
          },
         {
          "title": "Rexinene",
          "sortOrder": 0,
          "price": 0,
          "priceType": "fixed",
          "sku": ""        
         },
         {
          "title": "Bata",
          "sortOrder": 0,
          "price": 0,
          "priceType": "fixed",
          "sku": ""        
         }
       ],
      "extensionAttributes": {}
      }
}
