HTTP Request block with binary file

At a glance

The community member is asking if there is a way to send a binary file via the HTTP Request block in their application. The comments indicate that this may not be possible in the current application, but there may be a workaround involving a file block and a request block. One community member suggests that the original poster should provide more details about their use case to better understand the problem. Another community member states that it won't be possible in the current application, but a third community member says there is a way around it.

Hey, guys.

Is there any way I can send a binary file via the HTTP Request block? The image attached is from a Postman request, just to illustrate what I want to do

Anyone? ๐Ÿ™
No way to do that :/
What are you trying to achieve in the end? Can you provide your use case?
In one of my typebots I make a call to a third party API to upload a file and it is requested to be sent as a binary. If there's no way to do it, I'll have to make an endpoint myself that can send it this way
Yes that wonโ€™t be possible in typebot unfortunately
But you can do it there is way around it
first add file block then request block
