 An article has got a featured image assigned (id X).

 The featured image is replaced* using Media library (id Y).

 REST API for article delivers old image id (X).

 Upon requesting fields (id, src) for old image id (X) from REST API media
 endpoint, the field id returned is the new image id (Y).

 I expect the requested id and the returned id to match.

 Alternatively I like to be able to get to know which id returned
 correlates to which id requested.

 Example: https://deananddavid.com/wp-
 json/wp/v2/media/?include=77793&_fields=id,source_url&per_page=100

 "include" as per documentation requests certain ids. Notice the returned
 id is 77795 (5 instead 3 at last digit).


 '* the replacement was done by an editor. I don't know the exact procedure
 she/he took.
