Get a pdf file in got.post()

[ainaaad]

Is it possible with got.post() to receive a fitxero pdf?

I am trying it with this:
const res = await got.post(url {
header,
bodysuit: bodysuit,
pdf: true
});

But the response gives an error because I receive the response as JSON (ParseError: Unexpected token % in JSON )

pdf: true isnt a valid got option. to download a PDF (or any binary file), you need to use buffer response type:

const pdfBuffer = await got.post(url, {
  headers: header,
  json: bodysuit
}).buffer();

fs.writeFileSync('file.pdf', pdfBuffer);

the JSON parsing error happens because by default got tries to parse responses as JSON when you use .json() on it, but PDFs are binary data. responseType: 'buffer' tells got to return the raw binary data as a Buffer instead.

also, i notice you have bodysuit - if thats a typo and you meant to send JSON data, use the json option (shown above). if its form data, use form instead.
