## Admin REST API product image is now deprecated

As of `2025-01`, the admin REST API for the [product image resource](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/2024-10/resources/product-image) is now deprecated. It is recommended to migrate to GraphQL and use media IDs going forward. The `admin_graphql_api_id` will [return a media image ID](https://shopify.dev/changelog/product-image-resource-in-rest-now-returns-a-media-image-gid-to-streamline-migration-to-graphql) to streamline the migration process. More information and a migration guide can be found in the [dev docs](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/graphql/migrate/new-files-model).
