Hi @ujwala T
As I can understand, your api response is in binary format right if yes.
Then Change the Response Format to Binary as shown below.


Then set the output with data type Binary Data as shown below




Hope it will help.

Hi Ujwala,

That really depends a lot on how the REST API you are consuming sends its binary content. In general, these are the three possibilities:

  • Structureless binary data in the body;
  • Base64 encoded binary data in a JSON attribute;
  • Multipart/form-data encoded binary data (typically as a file).

You need to know which of these is supported by the API, before we can tell you how to do it in OutSystems.
