I'm trying to upload image via Wordpress REST api v2. So far all I managed was to create empty entries in wordpress media library. Meaning they have image names, but no actual image.
POST Request:
http://localhost/wordpress/wp-json/wp/v2/media
Authorization: Basic d29yZHByZXNzOndvcmRwcmVzcw==
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=map2.jpg
{
"source_url" : "file:///C:/Users/x/Desktop/map2.jpg"
}
Response:
{
"id": 127,
"date": "2016-05-25T08:43:30",
"date_gmt": "2016-05-25T08:43:30",
"guid": {

"raw": "http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/map2-3.jpg"
},

}
],
"replies": [

}
]
}
}
I get no errors, everything's seem to be working, except response->post and response->media_details is either null or empty. Ofcourse image itself is not uploaded.
Based on this GitHub WP-API Adding Media ticket, I should send 2 requests. First POST
request should return data with post object. I would send this post object via PUT
method, and image should be uploaded...since I have no post object, this is not possible.
Any ideas what am I doing wrong?
