Overview
This node interacts with the Caspio REST API to download files stored in Caspio. It allows users to specify a file either by an external key or by a file path and downloads the file content into a binary property of the workflow's item. This is useful for workflows that need to retrieve and process files from Caspio, such as automating file backups, processing documents, or integrating file data into other systems.
Use Case Examples
- Download a file from Caspio by specifying its external key and save it to a binary property for further processing.
- Download a file using its path within Caspio's file storage and use the binary data in subsequent workflow steps.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| File | Specifies the file to download, either by external key or file path. |
| Binary Property | The name of the binary property where the downloaded file's data will be stored. |
Output
Binary
The node outputs the downloaded file data into a binary property specified by the user, allowing subsequent nodes to access the file content.
JSON
fileMetadata- Metadata information about the downloaded file, such as name, size, and type.
Dependencies
- Requires an OAuth2 API credential for Caspio to authenticate and authorize API requests.
Troubleshooting
- Ensure the OAuth2 credentials are correctly configured and valid to avoid authentication errors.
- Verify that the specified file external key or path exists in Caspio to prevent file not found errors.
- Check that the binary property name is unique and does not conflict with existing properties in the workflow item.
