What is your goal?
I am trying to get the output data as an array.
What is the problem & what have you tried?
I have a HTTP Make a request module set up, but the output returns Data in binary.
Error messages or input/output bundles

Hey Simon,
and what is the data supposed to be? What are you trying to get and what are you trying to do with it?
I am looking to get “fte_date” which is a formatted as ex: 2025-Dec-02
This data is the “FreeTime End Date” for shipping containers. I am trying to update an Airtable record with the data.
Hi Simon. Welcome to the Community!
Can you share a screenshot showing the parameters you’re supplying in the HTTP Make a request module?
Redact any sensitive information like API keys or email addresses first though.
You can use the code app to decode binary to a text string, but what is the setting of the HTTP module? Why is it not returning JSON directly?
Here is the full body of request content:
{
“user”: {
“username”: “REDACTED”,
“user_gkey”: “REDACTED”,
“password”: “”,
“first_name”: “Joyce”,
“last_name”: “REDACTED”,
“company_code”: “REDACTED”,
“company_scac”: “BOYF”,
“company_name”: “REDACTED”,
“company_life_cycle_state”: “ACT”,
“credit_status”: “CHECK”,
“trucker_vender_id”: “N”,
“address_1”: “REDACTED”,
“address_2”: null,
“city”: “Avenel”,
“state”: “NJ”,
“zip”: “07001”,
“phone_number”: “REDACTED”,
“fax_number”: null,
“email_address”: “REDACTED”,
“active”: “Y”,
“expired_date”: null,
“guarantee_limit”: “0”,
“role”: “HAULIER”,
“menuRoleArray”: [
“CSP_EMAIL_REPORTS”,
“CSP_TRUCKER_ENTRY_ROLE”,
“CSP_TRUCKER_INQUIRY_ROLE”
],
“passwordResetCode”: null,
“canSeeAllData”: “0”,
“maherError”: null,
“navisErrors”: null,
“creditCard”: null,
“device”: “C”,
“systemAdmin”: null,
“callingCalculator”: “N”,
“sealink”: null,
“twic_number”: null,
“sealink_suspended”: null,
“sealink_expiration”: null,
“sealink_status”: null,
“sealink_life_cycle_state”: null
},
“requestData”: [
{ “container”: “TIIU6047334” }
]
}
I just used a Set Variable module to convert the binary to a string, but I’m not sure why the HTTP module itself is not outputting the data as a string or array.
Yeah that doesn’t look like an API endpoint you are hitting, it looks like you are simulating a user login directly on the platform.
Unless you can find some documentation on this, it may not be possible to figure out how to get it to give you a JSON.
Best bet is to try and transform it.
