How do I get the HTTP node and GET to output the binary? I tried using a proxy, UA still doesn’t work (Forbidden - perhaps check your credentials?
403 - “”), I have n8n docker desktop card and it still outputs binary but on my vps it doesn’t work

What is the error message (if any)?

Forbidden - perhaps check your credentials?

403 - “” Link : link

Please share your workflow

Share the output returned by the last node

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 1.71.3
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • **Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):**Docker

That error is pretty clear right?
You did not set any authentication.

That’s right, I didn’t set up any auth, because you can get the link and send it to the browser to see the video. I tried docker desktop but GET and HTTP still output normal binary.

There normally is protections in place to make sure people do not scrape data (including videos and such)
So you would need to use a proper API to do it or use something like puppeteer.
