I want to download a PDF with the HTTP_Caller and then write it to a directory on the local computer.

Hi @jurgenmack​ you can do this action directly into transformer HTTPCaller:

 

  • Request URL: the link of your PDF
  • HTTP Method: select the option download
  • Save Response Body To: File
  • Output Folder : insert the way of folder to save file

 

Configurations_HTTPCaller 

 

Thanks in Advance,

Danilo

Nice @jurgenmack​ . I'm happy to help you!


Is it also possible to extract a pdf from a website using the HTTPCaller, and then write the output to a folder using a separate writer?

I want to make a Data downloader in FME Flow, which requires the workspace to contain a writer. The HTTPCaller is not recognized as writer by FME Flow.

 

 

 

 


@tisjadaggers - you can write the file to a temporary location, then use a filecopywriter to copy it, this will show up to use a data download
