Hi @henryf ,

Is the URL link you mentioned as a public resource? If it needs to provide credentials, then I am afraid that we may not be able to download the corresponding pictures through Power Automate.

Basically, we only need to configure the URL in the HTTP action and set the method to Get, then the HTTP action will get the file content. But the prerequisites mentioned above need to be met.

Best Regards,

it's mostly public. some are housed on an internal web server. I can just do the public ones.

for the HTTP it's the premium one?

Hi @henryf ,

If it is a Public source, you could refer to the following blog to achieve the needs of downloading pictures:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/HTTP-get-download-file/td-p/49568

In addition, the HTTP connector is indeed a premium connector.
