how is the image returned?

[nova crown]

umm i am not sure, when I open the url, it just loads for some time and I get the image

[regal granite]

no, like if you use axios, jquery or a library like these ones, how is the image returned, as a buffer or how exactly

[nova crown]

i will show u wait 1 sec

@regal granite

this is how the data is returned

[regal granite]

I think it is base64 encoding, make a buffer from it using Buffer.from(<Data>, 'base64') and then make it an attachment with AttachmentBuilder and send it

for now send it like that so we can see if it works

[nova crown]

ok hold on lemme do it

nah man it didnt work @regal granite

[regal granite]

binary encoding?

wait, show me the code

[nova crown]

let data;
await axios.get(`https://apiv2.spapi.ga/image/triggered?image=https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/1017416456897560588/fc0b1df1086899bb1eeadfe6766c4e75.png`).then(res => {
      data=Buffer.from(res.data, "base64")
    })

    const attachment = new AttachmentBuilder(data, {name: "image.png"})

    await message.reply({embeds: [new EmbedBuilder().setImage("attachment://image.png")], files: [attachment]})

[regal granite]

🤔 is data the buffer?

log it so we can be sure

[nova crown]

yeah it is

[nova crown]

i did

[regal granite]

idk, try with binary

[nova crown]

this was the result of console.log(data)

[nova crown]

ok hold on

[regal granite]

we need to find the right encoding and it will work

[nova crown]

binary kinda worked but it returned a blank image

or I could say broken image

[regal granite]

if the image isn't showing 💩, I think the problem is from the api

at least I tried to help you :D

[nova crown]

this was the result from binary

[nova crown]

yeah u did thanks man

[regal granite]

try with utf-8 encoding, idk how encoding really works soo @nova crown

[nova crown]

k

it didn't work too🥲

[regal granite]

I have no more ideas

try this

[nova crown]

k

[regal granite]

set it to binary and then base64 if it doesn't work

[nova crown]

ok and response type arraybuffer right

[regal granite]

yeah, then log the response, I think it will return the actual buffer

so you'll not have to make it a buffer again

I think

[nova crown]

okay imma try

it worked @regal granite

you are an angel man

[regal granite]

:D

[nova crown]

const response = await axios.request({
      method: 'GET',
      url: 'https://apiv2.spapi.ga/image/triggered?image=https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/1017416456897560588/fc0b1df1086899bb1eeadfe6766c4e75.png',
      responseType: 'arraybuffer',
      responseEncoding: 'base64'
    });
    console.log(response.data);

    const attachment = new AttachmentBuilder(response.data, {name: "image.png"})

    await message.reply({embeds: [new EmbedBuilder().setImage("attachment://image.png")], files: [attachment]})

this worked
