We have over 50000 products and variants. Veeqo selected the wrong main images for our products.

Trying to update images via API and only found this [old change image thread from 2018](https://developer-forum.veeqo.com/t/assign-images-to-variants/102)

was able to retrieve sellable object

```
curl --request GET \\

```

–url[https://api.veeqo.com/sellables/xxxxxxxxx\](https://api.veeqo.com/sellables/527944259%5C)  
–header ‘accept: application/json’ \  
–header ‘x-api-key: [APIKEY]’

tried to replace/update image with a put command

json payload

```auto
{
  "product": {
    "images_attributes": [
      {
        "src": "https://sourceURL",
        "display_position": 1
      }
    ]
  }
} 

```

Try using the update product endpoint instead and see if that works:
