Retrieving picture from a tRestClient

fbt — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 01:18:29 GMT

Hello !

I have an issue and after a long search, I haven't find a way to solve it, so I'm asking !

I have to develop a batch Integration job. Our HR team is using Talentsoft tool, and I have to generate a weekly email in which I have to embedded picture of each employee.

The REST webservice provided by Talentsoft is a basis GET REST one with bearer token authentication. The answer has a Content-Type image/jpeg (a call to this webservice with a simple postman only show the picture as body result). I have made many different tries, but I do not find a way to manage this picture returned in Talend, neither to embedded it into an email body, nor to generate a picture file on disk I could have encoded in base64 later.

Does anyone knows how to handle this kind of Concent-Type with a tRESTClient ?

Documentation about the API used is here : https://ems.talent-soft.com/api/documentation/#!/EmployeePhoto/get_api_v1_directory_employees_id_photo_namingMethod

Thanks in advance !

I'm not able to test it, but maybe tFileFetch component will help ?

Are you getting any valid response ? How does it looks like ? Is it byte array ?

Hello,

Thanks for your answer. TFileFetch does'nt fit, as I don't get the picture url in the API response, but the picture itself. I have a valid response and something that's looking like a picture file content in the string response field, but event if I push it into a file, it's not a valid picture file.

I think you should convert your response to image. Please read about "bytes to pictures in Java". Maybe this is a solution.

Regards

@Juanita miles maybe your source file is broken ?

Try to upload a valid file to sharepoint, and then try to download and open it.
