Convert image to base64 and pass it as a variable in POST Request

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I'm converting image to base 64 stored in sharepoint using the formula :

 

vBase64Content= outputs('Get_file_content')?['body']?['$content'] 

 

Then passing the binary value of image in an POST Request as:

 

"type": "image_url",

"image_url": {

"url": "data;image/jpeg;base64,&vBase64Content&",

"detail": "high"}

 

Error:Bad Request 

Status code - 400

"Invalid base64 image_url."

 

When I'm checking the value of image it shows correct but still it is not running .

Let me know what is the issue.

 

Thanks,

Adi

    Hi Adi,

     

    You could refer below sample:

    Expression used for adding base64 content in compose action:

    body('Get_file_content_using_path')?['$content']

    You could pass the output of compose action in the body of http action.

     

    If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

     

    Thanks
