Hi @harivenkat75026.

Welcome to the Postman Community!

Are you able to pass this file to the API as a base64 in the body of the request?

Hi @harivenkat75026.

Is your question Postman related? I am not familiar with the shared platform(s), so I can’t say for if that will work or not. I’ll be more than happy to help with Postman related issues.
