Question

When using the Faraday gem to hit a URL for an image like this:

http_conn = Faraday.new do |builder|
  builder.adapter Faraday.default_adapter
end 
response = http_conn.get 'http://example.tld/image.png'

How can you write the image file from the Faraday response to disk?

Debugging the response.body attribute shows it is binary data.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Why not just write the response.body like any other file?

File.open('image.png', 'wb') { |fp| fp.write(response.body) }
