Tested on [email protected] cloud and still the same problem. How to let the devs know about this issue?

hello @napped
If I understand your question correctly you want to extract as base 64.

@moosa thank you

moving the binary payload to json worked and helped me move forward, however this is just workaround.

The original issue that Python node cannot access binary data directly (without moving them to json first) is not solved, so I’m leaving this open for devs to know
