How to get multiple response from a node API i.e a .xlsx file and a json data together on Postman side

[sagar-jg]

res.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + 'userData.xlsx');
res.send(response.file)

In response.file, i have the file buffer data
When i send as res.send(response.file), i am able to download the file on the Postman side by sending the request as 'Send and Download'

But i want to send a json data as well with the file, which is present in res.send(response.status) (response.status is a json obj)

response.status obj contains -> {"statuscode":200,"message":"Email sent successfully"}

I can get either of one in response.;

How can i get both res.send(response.file) and res.send(response.status) together on Postman side

Hi, I don't think it's possible.

You can probably send a JSON response first containing uri to file for downloading. And download it in separate request.

Hi, I'm working in something similar and I was wondering if is possible to strigntify the file like const file = response.file.toString('base64');

Based on research, it increases the file size. But yeah if it's just small file, why not.
