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 */
});

      @TonyZhang @VladimirN 

      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.
