Get media from two posts with same image












0















Let's say I create a new post and upload an image to it. Now I can get the image's source URL by calling get_attached_media with the post's ID or by calling the API at /wp-json/wp/v2/media?parent=$ID.



If I create a new post and use the same image, how can I get the source URL for the image from the ID of the second post?

          get_attached_media() accepts a post_id as an argument, ie:



          get_attached_media('image',$post_id);

          • Thought it was clear from my question, but I know that. The problem is, in my example, if I use the post ID of post 2, it won't return the image's source URL because it is attached to post 1.

            Nov 21 '18 at 16:42











          • So why not just pass the post_id of post1 then?

          • Let's say I send a request to my API to get images from post 2 and there are 100 posts. It doesn't return any image URLs, because the image I used in post 2 is attached to some other post. In this situation I have no way of knowing which post the image I am trying to get the URL of belongs to, so I can't just call the API at /wp-json/wp/v2/media?parent=$ID - or in your case - call get_attached_media('image',$post_id);, because I don't know the correct ID. I hope it makes sense.
