Hi everyone!
I'm stuck trying to save binary file returned by an api call.
The api call returns a binary file optimized, when i run the fetch schema in the screen the source returned shows only the code, that's not the problem, the problem is that i'm not able to save that returned data in the folder
Can someone help with this? thanks in advance!

If you're unable to get past this problem, I'd possibly look into using n8n
