Describe the problem/error/question
Xero API call to download a file gets the file as “content” not as pdf
What is the error message (if any)?
No error message. If you hit download on the binary data it is always a “content” file with no extension, even if the mime type in the binary field is set to application/pdf
Have tried using Accept = application/pdf and Accept =
application/octet-stream
The api documentation says Accept should be
application/octet-stream
When running this via xero API explorer I get the file as PDF. Only in n8n do I get this content file which I can open with a pdf tool.
Also tried turning on response format in the http request. Still same issue
