Hello, I am trying to use the bulkInsert function to insert data from an api directly into a collection. The issue I am experiencing is creating the Media Gallery field using an external url. The following code works if the image has already been upload to wix, however using an external url like provided in the image1 field does not upload to the collection. When using the same code below but changing the “src” field to an external url, I get the following error: The value does not match the field type Media Gallery.
Is it possible to create a Media Gallery using external images? I can successfully upload to the image1 object using an external URL.
If this cannot be done, is there a way to put image1, image2, image3, etc in a Media Gallery?
Thanks for your assistance.
const data = [
{
"myId": "006640de31",
"title": "My Title",
"imageGallery": [
{
"src": "wix:image://v1/45acdd_370e404c79404ac69e9932889247a1bd~mv2.jpg/Cute%2520french%2520Bulldog%2520puppy%252C%2520two%2520months%2520old.%2520selective%2520focus_edited.jpg#originWidth=3000&originHeight=1756",
"type": "image"
}
],
"image1":"https://dgicdplf3pvka.cloudfront.net/383213/mini-goldendoodle-puppy-picture-c4c4e291-5aab-4e07-a596-930f94004106.jpg"
}];
// Update Wix collection with fetched data
wixData.bulkInsert('MyCollection', data)
.then(results => {
console.log('Data updated successfully:', results);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Error updating data:', error);
});
