The official Woocommerce documentation can be found here.

WooCommerce REST API Error: #38761 is an invalid image ID. [woocommerce_product_invalid_image_id]

I have an intermittent issue. Sometimes the product creates okay with the image.

Note that all images tested do have file extensions and are external links that have valid paths with an image.

Sometimes the REST API (codexshaper/laravel-woocommerce package) throws this error:

"Error: #38761 is an invalid image ID. [woocommerce_product_invalid_image_id]"

It however still creates the product and image, but they’re not linked.
Can’t figure out why…

I even tried creating the product first then doing an update afterwards with the image, but it still only works sometimes.

    The problem in this case that the image you are using is PNG image not a JPG but the extension is .jpg this will cause this problem.

    The extension is not correct. you should retain the correct image extension or convert it to the wanted format.

    Your image is PNG but url describes it as JPG.

    Error comes from WP Validation logic, because wordpress is parsing extension from url.

    If you would leave it without extension (for example https://via.placeholder.com/350×150) it would probably throw an error, you can work around this with:

    define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true);

    placed in wp-config.php of your wordpress app.
