Hi,
the response of an API got an image field like
`"image":"data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJ....`
Any chance to tell glide to decode it or use it in a component so the user will see the image?
Cheers,
Mike

I believe you can just extract the “data:image…” node and display it in an image component as is. No need to decode it.

Indeed it works. The problem was the importJSON script which truncated this field to 256 chars.
Cheers
