Strapi v4 REST API :GET image

Question

please I am working with the new strapi v4 and... In the old versions of strapi all I needed to do in order to get the image from my collection type was to get it like: <img src={config.baseURL + product?.productImg?.formats?.thumbnail?.url} /> but when I try to do the same now, it gives me the url address, but the response says

{"data":null,"error":{"status":404,"name":"NotFoundError","message":"Not Found","details":{}}}

Any help?

with strapi v4 u need to manually populate your rest api with images otherwise it's restricted due to security reasons :

localhost:1337/api/posts?populate=*

then you will get images on your endpoint

well, yep I figured after reading docs :D... although I was not able to find out that you need that `/api/` in the middle of the requests... – insider Apr 17 '22 at 16:15

I realised it. In my config file I had the baseURL as 'localhost:1337/api'. However for images, you must request without the '/api' so the request should be just 'localhost:1337' and then the image route.

OMG! Thanks. After spending hours I found this solution. It should be clearly mentioned somewhere in the docs. – Syeda Aimen Batool May 23 '22 at 07:45
