HTTP image download is not parsing the data along to the next node

Whenever I download an image via http in my workflows, it says that the image has downloaded as data but it does not parse through any JSON code about the image or let the next node use the binary data.

I have included a screenshot of what always occurs the final node afterwards. I have tried multiple methods of using a code node to see if there is any data parsing, it can find the meta data of the binary file but not actually the binary file.

I also included a screenshot from youtube where you can see what sort of data is actually supposed to be coming through.

The idea with this is so I can download and image and upload it to airtable later on as an attachment.

Open to any suggestions on how to fix this.

p.s the workflow i have included is a sample one from a bigger problem



The Convert to File node requires a field with a base64 encoded file.
The Extract fro m File converts a binary (file) to a base64 encoded file.

N8N pobably passed the parameter name instead of the data when handling with binaries.
