How do you return pdf content from an API to PowerApps for viewing?

[Hmp-pt]

Hi,

Does anyone have experience with this?

Here is the output from my HTTP GET request. The API says the pdf file is returned.

I'm trying to display this file in a pdfviewer within Power Apps.

I return the output to Power Apps using a Response action, put the result of the flow into a collection and then set the document property on the pdfviewer like so:

But it says it expects a Blob.

How do I return that?

Do I have to save the file somehow and then use the GetAttachmentContent action?

I tried lots of ways but with no success thus far.

Please help!

Take a look at this video tutorial by Paul Culmsee.  It returns a PDF from Flow to display using the Response action.  It should give you what you need.

Thanks @Pstork1 .

What do I return though and how? All the videos I've seen are obtaining the pdf content from files stored in Sharepoint and using the GetFileContent/GetFileAttachment action to get the content.

I have the output from the API.

Thanks again.

Watch the video.  He is using Flow to get the file content via a connector (API) also.
