Is there any method to read the downloaded file content(not the file name) using node js? I'm getting my downloaded file content-disposition: attachment;filename=hello11.xlsx like this. I want provide the URI to my excel data extraction function. but couldn't figure out how to get the URI because my get Request returns nothing but a file downloaded to the browser.
I found a similar question but it's using java

i am creating a api service using nodejs and express and to parse multipart request i am using multerjs. I have to receive a pdf file from rest request and it is coming as multipart/form-data and to verify file type i am checking the file.minetype
Now the issue is if someone changes the file extension like from mp4 -> pdf it also changes the mimetype to pdf and the file is accepted as pdf so how do i sniff the mimetype for content is their any way to do without any new packages. I really need to do it without using any packages as it'll take a really long to get a new package to approved
I am using forge-api getObject() to download the excel from BIM360 hub. I set up express sever in the backend and make the call in the frontend.
I could get the result of the object and it looks like this:
So my question is:
How can I convert the result as a download link correctly? I could download the excel, but the excel can not be opened...
My code looks like this:
backend:
frontend:
I think all you need to modify in your backend code is to return content.body, instead of content
See e.g. https://github.com/Autodesk-Forge/forge-derivatives-explorer/blob/master/routes/data.management.js#L296
It might even be better if you generated a pre-signed URL for the file and passed that to the client. In that case, the file would not be downloaded to your server first and then to the client, but directly to the client in a single step.

I'm trying to create a .zip file by passing the returned body of an HTTP GET request to SharePoint's Create File.
Body is:
{
"$content-type": "application/zip",
"$content": "UEsDBBQACA...="
}
Shouldn't this just work? The docs only define the Create File field as "Content of the file." but that's not super informative...
I believe I've done this before with a file that was application/pdf and it worked. Unfortunately, I can't find that Logic App (I think it may have been an experiment I've since deleted).
I should note that the Create File action does create a valid .zip file, in that it's not corrupt, but archive is empty. It's supposed to contain a single .csv file.
I tried decoding the Base64 content and it's definitely binary data.
Any idea where I'm going wrong?
I test with Postman and when I use the form-data way to POST the request, I found the .zip file couldn't be open. Then I check the Logic App run history and I find the problem is if just use the triggerbody() as the file content it will fail.
This is because the triggerbody() not just have the $content, so I change the expression to triggerBody()['$multipart'][0]['body'] then it works and the .zip file is full.
I'm trying to use Dropbox as a cloud-based file receptacle for an app/script. The script, written in Python, needs to take PDFs from the Dropbox and use the tika-python wrapper to convert to string.
I'm able to connect to the Dropbox API and use the files_download_to_file() method to download the PDFs to disk, and then use the tika from_file() method to pull that download file from the disk to process. Example:
# Download ex.pdf to local disk
dbx.files_download_to_file('/my_local_path/ex_on_disk.pdf', '/my_dropbox_path/ex.pdf')
from tika import parser
parsed = parser.from_file('ex_on_disk.pdf')
The problem is that I'm planning on running this app on something like Heroku. I don't think I'm able to save anything locally and then access it again. I'm not sure how to get something from the Dropbox API that can be directly referenced by the tika wrapper to run the same as above. I think the PHP SDK has a file_get_contents and a file_put_contents set of methods but it doesn't appear to have a companion in the Python SDK.
I've tried using the shareable links in place of a filename but that hasn't worked. Any ideas? I know there's also the files_download method which downloads the FileMetadata object but I have no idea what to do with this and am having trouble finding more about it.
TLDR; How can I reference a file on Dropbox with a filename string such as 'example.pdf' to be used in another function that is trying to read a file from disk, without saving that Dropbox file to disk?
I figured it out. I used the files_download method to get the byte string and then use the from_buffer method of tika instead:
md, response = dbx.files_download(path)
file_contents = response.content
parsed = parser.from_buffer(file_contents)
I want to know the File type using "file" command without downloading file from S3 in Nodejs.
so aim is to only hit the file , fire "File" command on it and retrieve it's output. How can I achieve this without downloading?
Why not use the NodeJS S3 SDK to get the file details. There is a method that returns the object metadata. You can check the object ContentType to know its file type. It is returned in the response json when you make a request for an object's metadata.
