How to convert blob images to JPEG or URL in Bubble?

Hi everyone! I’m facing a challenge in Bubble and could use some help. I’m consuming an external API that returns a list of 15 images in blob format. I want to display these images to the user using a “Repeating Group”. I’ve tried using the Toolbox plugin to run JavaScript and convert the blobs, but without success.

Has anyone dealt with this issue or has any suggestions on how to convert these blobs into JPEGs or URLs that can be properly displayed in Bubble?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Is the image in question a Blob URL or is it just a Blob? As far as I’m aware, Blobs cannot be transmitted via HTTP since it’s just a representation of what’s stored in the users device. You cant convert a Blob to an image in the way you’re describing

You need to convert it to base64 if you want to be able to upload it to Bubble (you can use directly the Base64 or you can upload it to /fileupload endpoint of your app)
