Hi @savatara,

I’m not sure why you’re passing 2 parameters. The first one is with ‘Form Data’ type, Name: n ,and Value: 1. I think that could be causing the issue. Makes sense?

The HTTP request requires multiple parameters. n being one of them.

Sorry, I only have limited experience with n8n, but here’s what I understand:

In n8n, you always need to run or fetch data from previous nodes to see the actual structure in the left panel. Based on that, you should reference the correct parameter names and types that match the input.

In this case, the parameter n doesn’t appear to be coming from any previous node, and the type may not match what’s expected by the API. That’s likely why the issue is happening: the binary file reference fails, and the request breaks.

I hope this helps clarify the issue.
