How can I convert the response coming from the api to image

Question

I have response coming from the api like attached image. I want to convert this response to the image. I have tried to convert this into base64 string but i am not able to do it as well.

Image of the response

api is like this:

          axios.get(`https://api.bamboohr.com/api/gateway.php/tadigital/v1/employees/2223/photo/large`, 
                { auth: {
                    username: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
                    password: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
                  }
                }
                ).then(resp => {
                  console.log(resp.data)
          });

I want the solution without using responseType in the get request because api is not accepting the response type. I am not getting a way to convert this to image

Answer 1

1 Encoding should be base64 you can do that on either on the server or the client.

2 The Raw data should be set as the following -

    <img ng-src="data:image/*;base64,{{Raw Binary Data}}"/>

Answer 2

It seems like the server is sending raw data
You can convert it to blob by using fetch like below:

const res = await fetch(url);
const data = await res.blob();
const image = URL.createObjectURL(data);

Set Image as src of an image tag

I want the solution without using responseType in the get request because api is not accepting the response type.

responseType has nothing to do with server. It tells Axios how to handle the expected response data. In this scenario you could pass responseType: "blob" , which can be passed to URL.createObjectURL() to create an URL that can be used as <img> src .

const url = 'https://api.bamboohr.com/api/gateway.php/tadigital/v1/employees/2223/photo/large';
axios.get(url, {
  auth: {
    username: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    password: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
  },
  responseType: 'blob',
}).then((resp) => {
  const img = document.createElement('img');
  img.src = URL.createObjectURL(resp.data);
  img.alt = 'employee photo';

  document.body.append(img);
});

 const url = "data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9Ii0xMS41IC0xMC4yMzE3NCAyMyAyMC40NjM0OCI+CiAgPHRpdGxlPlJlYWN0IExvZ288L3RpdGxlPgogIDxjaXJjbGUgY3g9IjAiIGN5PSIwIiByPSIyLjA1IiBmaWxsPSIjNjFkYWZiIi8+CiAgPGcgc3Ryb2tlPSIjNjFkYWZiIiBzdHJva2Utd2lkdGg9IjEiIGZpbGw9Im5vbmUiPgogICAgPGVsbGlwc2Ugcng9IjExIiByeT0iNC4yIi8+CiAgICA8ZWxsaXBzZSByeD0iMTEiIHJ5PSI0LjIiIHRyYW5zZm9ybT0icm90YXRlKDYwKSIvPgogICAgPGVsbGlwc2Ugcng9IjExIiByeT0iNC4yIiB0cmFuc2Zvcm09InJvdGF0ZSgxMjApIi8+CiAgPC9nPgo8L3N2Zz4K"; axios.get(url, { responseType: "blob", }).then((resp) => { const img = document.createElement("img"); img.src = URL.createObjectURL(resp.data); img.alt = "React icon"; document.body.append(img); }).catch((error) => { console.log(error); });

 <script crossorigin src="https://unpkg.com/axios@1/dist/axios.js"></script>

Note that you should call URL.revokeObjectURL() if you no longer need the URL.
