How do I pass a GitHub url Website string to display a specific web page in the Insomnia Preview Window

[smiller0924]

I am using Insomnia to generate a Response that does a Base64 Decode and displays a .pdf image in the Edge Web browser when I click the link in the 'Preview' Window:

Note: I removed image of my token, username, etc

I then click the "html_url" and my Edge Browser opens to display my document.

I would like to do the following:

• take the "html_url" pass it into a variable.
• Place the variable with my document url the path where I would normally put an endpoint.
• I click to have the 'Preview' window display the Web Page with my document.

Is this possible? Thank you for the help.

Hi, Here’s how you can store and access a PDF via the GitHub API:

1. Convert your PDF file data to Base64.
2. Include the Base64 content in the request body.
3. Connect to GitHub using the API.
4. Use the endpoint /repos/{owner}/{repo}/contents/file.pdf.
5. Save the file with a .pdf extension.
6. In the response, you’ll get metadata including a URL.
7. You can use this URL to access or preview the PDF as needed.

@smiller0924 there are several handy variable tag helpers you can use by opening the context menu in the URL (typically via right-click, or if your keyboard has a context menu button) then clicking on the selected tag. Here's a video showcasing the response body attribute tag that matches your use case:
