uploading files

[ArneNostitz]

i am trying to get a file uploaded and was wondering how to do this with the pb node

thanks!

I have not had that need, it might not be supported as of now.

[ArneNostitz]

would be great if it did :)

it would need a more complex property management though (binary files, field-name) - send as form-data.

otherwise your plugin is very convenient :)

[TheFehr]

Yes I'd need to figure out who to work with binary data in a n8n node.

Maybe I'll find the energy some day.
I am also open to pull requests or even just pointers at good docs / examples.

sadly i am really hitting a wall with PB and data upload ... maybe its not PB. but i am not able to get it to work.

are you using the JS SDK in the background? or are you building http requests?

[TheFehr]

The node uses the sdk in the background

@ArneNostitz, did you find a workaround? I'm facing the same issue

[ArneNostitz]

yes. using the http request node in form data mode, sending data as binary - that works. its a bit tricky because i used to test by stepping through the workflow and pinning the outputs - but that does not work for binary - it looks like it does but is actually not sending data - and that creates errors.
the workflow needs to run, then it works

Thank you and how did you authenticate your request ?

[ArneNostitz]

depends on what you want to do. if you just have one user, you can use the basic auth with username, password set in n8n.

otherwise you need to auth through another http request (login) and then use the token
