Image URL to PNG to tweet media

[micdef]

My goal is to use online images and post on X.

I have a URL of an image and in order to upload as an attachment on X, I need the file to be either in png or jpg format rather then being just a URL.

Any experience?

Hey @micdef! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the run link and make sure it’s shareable so we can take a look.

1. Find your run link on the history page. Format: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id={your_run_id}&workbook_id={workbook_id}

2. Make it shareable by clicking “Share” → ‘Anyone with the link can view’ in the top-left corner of the flow screen.
   

3. Provide details about the issue—more context helps us troubleshoot faster.

You can find your run history here: https://www.gumloop.com/history

Hey @micdef - You can upload that file to drive using the Drive File Writer node with Use Link enabled. You can then read the same file using the Drive File Reader node which would output the file object that you can connect to the Twitter (X) node.

Let me know if this works for you.

Since you’re passing the image URL to the drive you should enable Use Link in the Drive File Writer node. Once you do that the file type will be properly uploaded on drive and the flow will work as expected.
