Cant update custom meta via curl

[russwittmann]

Currently I'm trying to update my site meta using curl if I try this:
curl -X PUT https://dev.domain.com/wc-api/v3/products/241074 -u key:secret -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"product":{"meta": {"my_availability":"S"}}}'
and it doesn't work, although a regular update works
curl -X PUT https://dev.domain.com/wc-api/v3/products/241074 -u key:secret -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"product":{"regular_price": "9000.00"}}' of a normal woo field, I'm so close but I just can't get it, any help is appreciated

Should it be custom_meta rather than meta? I left meta free for core WC use.

[russwittmann]

its definitely called meta here is the results of just a query. and All I need to change is "my_availability" to "S"

Sorry, I'm getting the dreaded "Consumer Secret is invalid" message on my instance, after some server upgrades, and run out of time trying to work around that problem.

Can you confirm that you did try custom_meta as the name of the object to send custom metadata fields to?

[russwittmann]

Correct it doesn't work with custom_meta. If you want I can give you access to my instance?

[judgej]

Give me a day or two to get it working at my end. I do need a working system if I'm going to be able to do anything useful here.

[russwittmann]

Any luck?

Use the new v2 REST API (WC 3.x) instead of this plugin. It now does everything this plugin does out of the box. The README gives some examples of how you would manage the metadata fields.
