What is the best way to pass a binary file to a http request node. I have the following postman request

This is parsed as the following cURL

curl --location ‘``https://rest.api.transifex.com/resource_strings_async_uploads’``
–header ‘Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json’
–header ‘Accept: application/vnd.api+json’
–header ‘Authorization: Bearer 1/46a000f0a4246689915c8452876c16bf3432ff4a’
–header ‘Cookie: AWSALB=Zj+JDZCNNizrCA9RyRDW1Nk/iyg0S5zP0wn0VvsVAxRB2eBmfaPpoVjMpkQyvc+dbdChA7EBsOuQ03Y8pXrzO5whQDqHrjzW1s82b4x3Nuu9L3IOOzLe5RNt5qPH; AWSALBCORS=Zj+JDZCNNizrCA9RyRDW1Nk/iyg0S5zP0wn0VvsVAxRB2eBmfaPpoVjMpkQyvc+dbdChA7EBsOuQ03Y8pXrzO5whQDqHrjzW1s82b4x3Nuu9L3IOOzLe5RNt5qPH’
–form ‘content=@“/Users/carlosolvera/Downloads/tx_test.txt”’
–form ‘resource=“o:colvera:p:n8n_test:r:1yzrUrCnPfWLMmfvA8cJVV16lNDYVNLN-AJRnJTt1V6g”’
–form ‘callback_url=“”’
–form ‘keep_translations=“true”’
–form ‘replace_edited_strings=“true”’

How do I pass this to an HTTP node request, I’m trying to use the API to upload a file from my local folder.

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

Share the output returned by the last node

Information on your n8n setup

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

Once you have the file binary as a node’s output, you will want to make sure that you store it immediately in a new property (think Code or Set node!) to ensure it doesn’t get dropped. Some nodes will drop the binary property if it isn’t put to use right away.

In your Read/Write files node, make sure you use the Put Output File in Field option so that you can accomplish this. Put the file in a custom property under binary. You will want to make sure that no nodes in between will drop this by using the Always Output Data setting, available on the node settings tab. This will ensure that your file is available to your request node further down.
