Download an image using Axios and convert it to base64

Question

I need to download a .jpg image from a remote server and convert it into a base64 format. I\'m using axios as my HTTP client. I\'ve tried issuing a git request to the server

Answer 1

This worked great for me:

function getBase64(url) {
  return axios
    .get(url, {
      responseType: 'arraybuffer'
    })
    .then(response => Buffer.from(response.data, 'binary').toString('base64'))
}
