Read Image from repository and convert it to Base64 code

[RK_0705]

Hi,

Which service in ThingWorx 9.2 is used to convert image into base64 code.

Please share the snippet of reading the image from repository and converting it into base64 code.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @RK_0705,

Maybe you can try using LoadBinary function of FileRepository things to load Blob content of the image in your repository.

let Content = Things["RepositoryName"].LoadBinary({
    path: "/pathToImage/image.jpg" /* STRING */
});

LoadBinary service is returning the Base64 code but in BLOB type.

Could you please help me how to parse from BLOB to STRING in ThingWorx 9.2 as I have to pass base64 code to one rest api which is expecting STRING as input and not as type BLOB.

Thanks in advance.
