Is there any way of associating taxons and products throught the API?

[Damian Pereira]

I'm trying to import 10.000 products into a spree store, my idea was to run an external script while the server is running, and loading every product with a POST to /api/v1/products.

I can also edit product_properties and option_types/values, but I can't find how to associate an existing taxon with a product through the REST api, am I missing anything?

Should I rather do the import with a rake task instead of using the REST API?

Hey Damian, 

Thanks for your question.

Please find an answer below, in the meantime I'd like to invite you and everyone else in the Spree community to join Spree Slack channels - a group chat where you can talk to Spree developers and users. We've got over 2200 people there already. 

Here's where you can sign up: http://slack.spreecommerce.org/

As per your question, our Spree dev says:

You can pass attribute `taxon_ids` as array when doing POST. The same rule applies to `option_type_ids`.

Permitted attributes for products are: 

      :name, :description, :available_on, :discontinue_on, :permalink, :meta_description, :meta_keywords, :price, :sku, :deleted_at, :prototype_id, :option_values_hash, :weight, :height, :width, :depth, :shipping_category_id, :tax_category_id, :cost_currency, :cost_price, option_type_ids: [], taxon_ids: []

See you on Spree slack: http://slack.spreecommerce.org/ :-)
