Create Simple Product

This API is offering to create Simple Product.

POST {{Base_url}}/rest/V1/products

The Magento API endpoint /rest/V1/products is designed to create a new product in the Magento store programmatically. It allows users to define a product's key attributes such as SKU, name, price, type, and visibility. Additionally, it supports adding media assets like images, which are uploaded in Base64-encoded format along with their MIME type (e.g., image/jpeg, image/png). The API also manages stock levels through extension attributes, enabling inventory control by specifying quantity and stock status.

Required Fields:

• sku: Stock Keeping Unit - unique identifier for the product.

• name: Name of the product.

• attribute_set_id: ID of the attribute set (default: 4 for the default attribute set).

• price: Price of the product.

• status: Status of the product (1 for enabled, 0 for disabled).

• visibility: Visibility of the product (1: Not Visible, 2: Catalog, 3: Search, 4: Catalog & Search).

• type_id: Product type (e.g., simple, virtual, downloadable, etc.).

• weight: Weight of the product (mandatory for simple products).

• qty: inventory of the product (mandatory for simple products).
