How is the process done?

I know how to use the API

But my problem is with the FILE data being uploaded, right now the file can be accessed using the link, and I am passing the link

But when the GPT is using the file, it is telling me that all it has is the link and not the content inside

How do I retrieve the file content and pass it to the GPT??

You may attempt to use HTTP Get a File to retrieve the content of the file.
