Hey @Osas,

That looks good but I would need to see your full workflow to work out what is going on, Is the node with the binary data the node before the http request node or is it a few nodes back?

Hi @Jon

The node that returns binary data is 2 nodes away

Hey @Osas,

That will be the issue, The binary data needs to be in the node before the node you are trying to use it in. You may need to use something like a merge node to bring it closer to where you need it.
