Binary files

Return files, images, and other binary targets as base64-encoded Browser API responses.

To scrape any type of file within the limit of 7MB, just set the url parameter to the url of that specific file. The response will include an object with the key base64_string and the file converted to a base64 string as the value.

Your full GET request should then be sent to the following address:

https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Google_2015_logo.svg/440px-Google_2015_logo.svg.png
