Media files not showing in API with Strapi

I have created a component with a media field. When I upload an image/video I can’t see it in the API. I’ve even tried using ?populate=*. What can I be missing?

Check this discussion https://github.com/strapi/strapi/issues/11836

Now go here https://www.npmjs.com/package/strapi-plugin-populate-deep

For NPM:

npm install strapi-plugin-populate-deep

For Yarn:

yarn add strapi-plugin-populate-deep

Now use it like this:

/api/<name>?populate=deep

The populate=* give’s you the first level of relations so you get only component, but not the relation included in component.

I’m not sure what is your model looks like, what would give some more info how to properly write query, you have two options:

The easiest solution is: yarn add strapi-plugin-populate-deep /api/pages/1?populate=deep

harder one is to use qs with something like:

const str = qs.stringify(
  {
    populate: { hero: { populate: ["media", "heroImage"] } }
  },
  { encodeValuesOnly: true }
);

witch would give you:

populate[hero][populate][0]=media&populate[hero][populate][1]=heroImage
