External API returns binary PDF bytes - How to save to file system?

[Tim_Jones]

I am making a call to an API service that returns a PDF as “binary PDF bytes”. The documentation goes on to say “Make sure you save the response to PDF as binary data.”

My test code is writing blank PDFs so I think there is an issue.

I cannot find any documentation on what the “file content” input is expecting.

Thanks,
Tim

Thank you!
