About Media API for WooCommerce
From the official readme · v2.8.1Description
Media API for WooCommerce is an extension of WooCommerce API with new endpoint media(/wp-json/wc/v2/media). This is a wrapper of existing WordPress REST API. This plugin will help you bypass WordPress REST API authentication settings and JWT, and use WooCommerce API to upload medias and images directly.

Two additional properties have been added to create media file:
media_path (string write-only): relative path folder (under wp-content/uploads) of the file to create. eg: 2018/05/department/brand.
media_attachment (string write-only): base64 string of media binary file. eg: R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAAAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==.
