Woo Product Image Audit

woo-product-image-audit

Purpose

Scan all WooCommerce products to identify those missing product images, with fewer than a minimum image count, or with images that have empty alt text. Exports a gap report for the media team to address. Read-only — no products or images are modified.

Prerequisites

• WooCommerce store with REST API enabled
• Consumer Key with Read scope
• Minimum WooCommerce version: 3.5.0

Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | store_url | string | yes | — | Base URL of the WooCommerce store | | consumer_key | string | yes | — | WooCommerce REST API consumer key (ck_...) | | consumer_secret | string | yes | — | WooCommerce REST API consumer secret (cs_...) | | dry_run | bool | no | false | No effect — read-only skill | | format | string | no | human | Output format: human or json | | min_images | int | no | 1 | Minimum number of images required | | require_alt_text | bool | no | true | Flag images with empty alt attribute | | category_id | int | no | — | Limit audit to this category | | status | string | no | publish | Product status to audit |

Authentication

WooCommerce uses OAuth 1.0a for HTTP and Basic Auth over HTTPS.

For HTTPS stores (recommended):

Authorization: Basic base64(consumer_key:consumer_secret)

For HTTP stores (development only): Use OAuth 1.0a — include oauthconsumerkey, oauthnonce, oauthsignature, oauthsignaturemethod=HMAC-SHA1, oauthtimestamp, oauthversion=1.0

Never log or output consumerkey or consumersecret values.

See docs/AUTHENTICATION.md for full setup instructions.

Safety

Read-only skill — no mutations are executed. Safe to run at any time.

Workflow Steps

Step 1 — Fetch products

GET /wp-json/wc/v3/products?status=&per_page=100&page=1
  [&category=]

Extract per product: id, name, sku, images[].id, images[].src, images[].alt Paginate until response length below minimum > missing alt text.

API Endpoints Used

GET  /wp-json/wc/v3/products   — product list with image data

Pagination Strategy

WooCommerce REST API uses page/per_page pagination (not cursor-based).

Standard pattern:

page = 1
while True:
  response = GET /endpoint?per_page=100&page=page
  process(response)
  if len(response)                       ║
║  TIME:                     ║
║  MODE:  READ-ONLY                        ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════╝

PER-OPERATION (emit after each API call batch):

[N/TOTAL]   →  records | params: =

COMPLETION (human format):

╔══════════════════════════════════════════╗
║  COMPLETE: woo-product-image-audit       ║
║  RECORDS PROCESSED:                   ║
║  OUTPUT:                       ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════╝

COMPLETION (json format):

{
  "skill": "woo-product-image-audit",
  "store": "",
  "completed_at": "",
  "records_processed": ,
  "output_file": "",
  "dry_run": false
}

Output Format

CSV filename: woo-product-image-audit_.csv Columns: product_id, sku, name, image_count, missing_images, below_minimum, images_missing_alt, issue_summary

Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Resolution | |-------|-------|------------| | 401 Unauthorized | Invalid credentials | Verify consumerkey and consumersecret | | 403 Forbidden | Key lacks Read scope | Regenerate with Read scope | | 429 Too Many Requests | Rate limit | Wait 2 seconds and retry |

Best Practices

• Run after bulk product imports to catch products with no images assigned.
• For SEO: all images should have descriptive alt text for accessibility and image search indexing.
• Prioritize products with zero images — they have the highest conversion impact.
