strapi api not showing image field info

Question

I'm new to using strapi.

I have created a "events" Collection Type.

My events collection type has the following fields (pls take note of the image field)

1. name
2. slug
3. venue
4. address
5. date
6. time
7. performers
8. description
9. image

When I go to http://localhost:1337/api/events

I get the following json which does not contain info of the image field. This is a problem. Why is the info for image not showing? What should I do to make the image info included in the json returned from the api?

{"data":[{"id":1,"attributes":{"name":"Throwback Thursday with DJ Manny Duke","slug":"throwback-thursday-with-dj-manny-duke","venue":"Horizon Club","address":"919 3rd Ave New York, New York(NY), 1002","date":"2022-07-20T02:00:00.000Z","time":"10:00 PM","createdAt":"2022-04-12T02:05:08.246Z","updatedAt":"2022-04-12T02:17:16.760Z","publishedAt":"2022-04-12T02:05:16.192Z","performers":"DJ Manny Duke","description":"Description for the vent of DJ Manny Duke"}},{"id":2,"attributes":{"name":"Boom Dance Festival Experience","slug":"boom-dance-festival-experience","venue":"Blackjacks","address":"123 Lexington","date":"2022-04-25T16:00:00.000Z","time":"8:00 PM","createdAt":"2022-04-12T02:26:32.123Z","updatedAt":"2022-04-12T02:26:33.540Z","publishedAt":"2022-04-12T02:26:33.538Z","performers":"DJ LUKE, DJ BLACKJACK","description":"Whatever Description"}},{"id":3,"attributes":{"name":"Encore Night Boat Party","slug":"encore-night-boat-party","venue":"Encore","address":"12343 New York","date":"2022-11-14T16:00:00.000Z","time":"7:00 PM","createdAt":"2022-04-12T02:28:06.028Z","updatedAt":"2022-04-12T02:28:36.292Z","publishedAt":"2022-04-12T02:28:07.622Z","performers":"BAD BOY BILL","description":"Description of Encore"}}],"meta":{"pagination":{"page":1,"pageSize":25,"pageCount":1,"total":3}}}

Answer 1

Images data will not show without populating it. You need to use something like this http://localhost:1337/api/events?populate=yourImage

replace yourImage with the property name you are using in your strapi for images
