Hi @AntonioChagoya I don’t if this helps or may be an alternative. This is specific to components attached to a content type entry. I have a content type called works and attached a component called images. I needed to make a component in order to be able to arrange images.
With all that said I similarly was having problems accessing the media attached to this component.
I resolved it by alter my populate request like this.
http://localhost:1337/api/works/1?populate[images][populate]=*
