Converting glides image url into a base64 string

[MattGlides]

Need to do an API call where they require a base64 string instead of an image URL, is there anyway to do this with images uploaded to glide?

You’d need to use a JavaScript column to download the image, encode it, and then return the encoded string.

Something like this?

function convertImageToBase64(url) {
  return fetch(url)
    .then(response => response.blob())
    .then(blob => {
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        const reader = new FileReader();
        reader.onloadend = () => resolve(reader.result);
        reader.onerror = reject;
        reader.readAsDataURL(blob);
      });
    });
}

return convertImageToBase64(p1);
