title: "Binary Data Support for Proxy Execute"
description: "Proxy execute endpoint now supports binary data for file uploads and downloads"
date: "2025-12-30"
---
The `/api/v3/tools/execute/proxy` endpoint now supports binary data for both file uploads and downloads.
### File Uploads (`binary_body`)
To upload a file via the proxy, use the `binary_body` field in your request payload. This supports two approaches: specifying either a URL pointing to the file or providing the base64-encoded content directly.
#### Upload File via URL
```bash
curl --location 'https://backend.composio.dev/api/v3/tools/execute/proxy' \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-key: <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"endpoint": "/upload-endpoint",
"method": "POST",
"connected_account_id": "<CONNECTED_ACCOUNT_ID>",
"binary_body": {
"url": "{URL_TO_THE_FILE}"
}
}'
```
#### Upload File via Base64 Content
Supported up to 4MB file size.
```bash
curl --location 'https://backend.composio.dev/api/v3/tools/execute/proxy' \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-key: <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"endpoint": "/upload-endpoint",
"method": "POST",
"connected_account_id": "<CONNECTED_ACCOUNT_ID>",
"binary_body": {
"base64": "JVBERi0xLjQKJ...<base64_data>...",
"content_type": "application/pdf"
}
}'
```
### File Downloads (`binary_data`)
When the proxied request returns a binary response (for example, a PDF or image), the proxy automatically uploads the file to temporary storage, and you receive a signed URL in the `binary_data` field. This enables you to download large files securely.
#### File Download Request
```bash
curl --location 'https://backend.composio.dev/api/v3/tools/execute/proxy' \
--header 'accept: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-key: <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"endpoint": "{YOUR_ENDPOINT}",
"method": "GET",
"connected_account_id": "{YOUR_CONNECTED_ACCOUNT_ID}"
}'
```
#### File Download Response
```json
{
"data": {},
"binary_data": {
"url": "url to the file",
"content_type": "content type of the file",
"size": "size of the file",
"expires_at": "expires at of the file"
},
"status": "status code of the response",
"headers": "headers of the response"
}
```
