Hi Jamal,

There is a similar thread exist in forum, please check below,

Hope this helps!

Thank you Venkatesh - I have seen that already - I need the url which should publically accessable : 

Hi Jamal,

The post that Venkatesh linked to works fine for Traditional (adding a Download in the Preperation), but it doesn't work for Reactive. Instead, you can leverage the fact that a REST API uses HTTP(S) just as webpages do, so you can emulate the Traditional trick.

To do so, expose a REST API with a GET method. Let's call it ImageGet. The URL then should be "images" (or "Images"). It should probably have some ImageId as input, so you can retrieve the right image from the database. Of course, you could add a GUID to your database and use that, so it's not possible to guess valid ImageIds.

The REST method should have two outputs: one is the image binary, so let's call it ImageBinary, its Data Type should be set to Binary and Send In to Body. The second parameter should be called something like ContentDisposition, and it will be used to send back the file name. It should be of type Text, Send In is Header, and Name in Response "Content-Disposition" (without the quotes).

In the REST method, you query the database. You set the ImageBinary output to the data of the image from the database, and the ContentDisposition to the following:

"attachment; filename=" + FileName

where FileName is the name of the file (from the database as well, probably).

You can test whether it works in the browser. You can find the URL by using the "Open Documentation" option in Service Studio, then expanding the GET Images/ and copying the Request URL. Don't forget to replace the {ImageId} placeholder by a valid identifier.

Hi Kilian
 Thank you for the solution - I will try this and confirm you the working 

worked - you are a champion Kilian Hekhuis 

For future reference: I wrote an article about how to this in some more detail.

Hi @Kilian Hekhuis .I am trying to get url from binary so that when i expose the api I would get the URL instead of binary data in the response because this response is going to be use in the front end website which is built in react.js and they used "src link" for image.I tried to do all the steps as you had recommended in this post but this api is crashing, it is not giving any response

Thanks @Kilian Hekhuis. I was able to download the files. But the thing is I don't want to download files, I need a URL of binary data that is saved in my database. So I can use it in my API response which later can be used as "src" link like we do in html. Something like this <image src="">   

P.S I am not going to use this link in outsystems app. It is going to be use externally. I am just exposing the api here with image as a URL
