I currently have a wordpress blog with images stored in an S3 AWS bucket.
I upload the images directly to the bucket “manually”.
I have a file with the image urls for each post.
These posts do not exist yet on my wordpress blog.
I thought I would use the WordPress REST API to create the posts in wordpress.
I thought that I could add the url for my image in the field “featured\_media”. But it seems this field wants the id of the image. I have no id.
Do you know how I can use the api to allocate these images as featured\_media when I create a new post?
Apologies if it is a silly question – I’m not familiar with the API (or wordpress).
