Create Products using Rest API : Magento V2.0 - magento

Question

I have been trying to create a product using Rest API for Magento Version 2.0.
I am using Postman to test the rest api.
URL : http://13.91../rest/V1/products
I have added the following headers to the request.
Authorization : Bearer **********************
Content-Type : application/json
JSON BODY
{
"sku":"10090-White-XL",

}
The error that I get is {"message":"%fieldName is a required field.","parameters":{"fieldName":"product"}}
It will be great if someone could let me know how I could add a product. I have checked all the documents and but could not find an answer.

Answer 1

I have found the answer to my question. The json structure need to be in this format:
{
"product":{
"id": 12345,
"sku": "10090-White-XL",
"name": "10090-White-XL",
"attribute_set_id": 9,
"price": 119,
"status": 1,
"visibility": 1,
"type_id": "virtual",
"created_at": "2016-04-05 23:04:09",
"updated_at": "2016-04-05 23:04:09",
"product_links": [],
"options": [],
"tier_prices": [],
"custom_attributes": [
{
"attribute_code": "description",
"value": "<p>Precise Long-Sleeve Shirt in Black, Denim, or White.</p>"
},
{
"attribute_code": "meta_title",
"value": "Precise Long-Sleeve Shirt"
},
{
"attribute_code": "meta_keyword",
"value": "Precise Long-Sleeve Shirt"
},
{
"attribute_code": "meta_description",
"value": "Precise Long-Sleeve Shirt <p>Precise Long-Sleeve Shirt in Black, Denim, or White.</p>"
},
{
"attribute_code": "color",
"value": "11"
},
{
"attribute_code": "options_container",
"value": "container2"
},
{
"attribute_code": "required_options",
"value": "0"
},
{
"attribute_code": "has_options",
"value": "0"
},
{
"attribute_code": "url_key",
"value": "10090-white-xl"
},
{
"attribute_code": "msrp_display_actual_price_type",
"value": "0"
},
{
"attribute_code": "tax_class_id",
"value": "2"
},
{
"attribute_code": "size",
"value": "8"
}
]
},"saveOptions": true
}
The important thing to note is the product tag in the json.The swagger document help to idenity it. Here is the link to it: http://devdocs.magento.com/swagger/#!/catalogProductRepositoryV1/catalogProductRepositoryV1SavePost

Simple product with custom attributes (ex: remarks).
Just take note of the media_gallery_entries. Make sure to supply a valid base64_encoded_data image content and mime type.
