Return image from aws lambda function

Hey guys I'm trying to return an image as an http response from aws lambda/api-gateway. For some reason my response ends up with an empty image. Here's what I have on aws lambda:

"use strict";

var handler = function (event, context, callback) {
const base64Image = "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";
const image = Buffer.from(base64Image, 'base64');

    var response = {
        statusCode: 200,
        headers: {
            "Content-Type": "image/jpeg"
        },
        isBase64Encoded: true,
        body: image.toString('base64')
    };
    callback(null, response);
};
exports.handler = handler;

I have also set Binary Media Types to / Any idea on how to get this working? Heres also what my result after enter image description here

if you are using Lambda Proxy integration on your API gateway try the following steps.

  1. under AWS API gateway > Models > create a model name with ImageJPEG and {} as model schema.

  2. under API gateway > Resources > your GET endpoint > click 'Method Response'. create new response status for 200. add new header 'Content-Type' under 'Response Headers for 200'. add 'Response Body for 200' as 'image/jpeg' and select ImageJPEG as modal you previously created.

  3. under API gateway > Settings > 'Binary Media Types'.

add 'image/jpeg' and 'text/html' as supported binary type. 'text/html' is required if you are accessing directly via browser. (otherwise, it should work if you send the 'Accept' header as 'image/jpeg'). If that didn't work add */* as binary media type to allow all types.

One solution (that I use) is returning the base64 string of your image, then on API Gateway you convert from base64 string to binary.

aws apigateway update-integration-response \ 
 — rest-api-id <xxx> \
 — resource-id <xxx> \ 
 — http-method GET \ 
 — status-code 200 \ 
 — patch-operations ‘[{“op” : “replace”, “path” : “/contentHandling”, “value” : “CONVERT_TO_BINARY”}]’

Later, you have to add */* as the Binary Media Types, under the Settings option in API Gateway. From the cli:

aws apigateway update-rest-api — rest-api-id XXX — patch-operations ‘[{“op” : “replace”, “path” : “/binaryMediaTypes/*~1*”, “value” : “*~1*”}]’

note: you should redeploy the api gateway
