I have a REST Api that I would like to download a file from and have access to via javascript. From there, I could convert to a file and store in retool storage. I could store in a database if I want. I could even download it to client’s local machine. Regardless, at this moment, I can’t find a way to do the first step which is getting the blob of data from some REST Api.
When I setup a resource query to attempt to do this, I appear to be getting some mangled version of the data that I can’t recover from.
There are similar forum posts about this (here and here). So maybe it’s not possible. I just can’t believe it’s not possible given that you can do this with the S3 resource.
