Convert Base64encoded data to PDF / Credit File Api integration

EWebb1 — Wed, 15 May 2024 05:56:58 GMT

Does anybody have a way to safely convert base 64encoded data to pdf?

We're trying to get an API to send credit reports directly from Equifax & Illion but we're missing this final step.

Any ideas here?

Hey, @EWebb1 👋 Are you working with Python or JavaScript (Node.js)? For JS, you might try something like this as a proof of concept and build from there:

const fs = require('fs'); let b64 = 'Your base64 encoded string here' // replace with your base64 string let b64_decoded = Buffer.from(b64, 'base64'); fs.writeFileSync('my_file.pdf', b64_decoded);

Python has a base64 library that should let you do the same and then convert it to PDF.

Have fun building! — Jaycee

Neither. I don't have coding experience. But i've set up private apps before. This is the only hurdle to completing it however 😞
