I’m trying to download a PDF file from a private Slack URL using the HTTP Request node. Authentication with a Bearer token works, but the output is corrupted (text with random characters) instead of proper binary data.
In the current n8n version, there is no option to set the response type to “binary” in the HTTP Request node.
How can I correctly download and handle binary files like PDFs?
BTW, you could also separate your Authorization: Bearer {token} into a credential item so you don’t have to remember to mask it, and you can reuse it in multiple places.
