tRestClient call of api to get a picture

[Swiip]

I use the tRestClient component to execute a GET on an API to get a picture in the answer.

I tried with Postman and i got a binary file with the extension ".bin".

If i rename this file with the extension ".jpg" i can see the picture.

But in Talend with tRestClient i can't generate the correct picture.

I tried to do this :

tRestClient => tmap => tFileOutputRaw

In the tmap i choose only the string (and not statusCode and body). In the tFileOutputRaw i generated a file. But it's not a picture. The size of this file is 24 ko. And with my test on Postman the size of the file is 25 ko. If i rename the file generated with the extension ".jpg" it isn't a picture.

Thank you very much for your help.

Have a good day

Hi, TRestClient send you a Json response, you have to parse it via a parser component like TExtractJsonField.

But when i launch the same api with Postman and i click on "Save Response" i have directly the binary file and not a Json answer.

could you send a screenshot of the body response in postman ?

It's seem to be a binary of a JFIF

Yes in fact it's a photo. When i click on "Save Response" i have a response.bin

If i rename the extension in response.jpg i can see the photo.

You can convert this binary to a byte array then write it on a file with the java.io.FileOutputStream class.

[gjeremy1617088143]

   public static String byteArrayToFile(byte[] input, String filepath) {

try {

      java.io.File fp = new java.io.File(filepath);

      java.io.FileOutputStream fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream(fp);

      fos.write(input);

      fos.close();

      return null;

    } catch (IOException e) {

      return e.toString();

       }

      }
