How to handle an image file from googleusercontent CDN in Node?

Trying to request an image from Google CDN and upload it to S3. Using the https://github.com/request/request library and Node / Express;

A little confused how to handle payload coming back from Google CDN.

The image comes back in the body field and in encoded. Not sure how it is encoded.

Given a URL to a Google CDN:

const fileURL = https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/EWE1234rFL006WfQKuAVrsYMOiKnM6iztPtLgXM5U…3i26LoPHQwPTQME7ne3XoMriKVjUo3hrhwWw1211223

  request(fileURL, (err, res, body) => {

     //NOT sure how to handle the response here??
     //Trying base64
     fs.writeFileSync(`.tmp/file1.png`, body, {encoding: 'base64'});

     //Trying Binary
     fs.writeFileSync(`.tmp/file.png`, body, {encoding: 'binary'});
  }

body comes back as:

�PNG↵↵IHDRv&vл� IDATx�}���<z�f���];��o]��A�N�.po�/�/R���..............

1). Request an image from googleusercontent Google CDN (image was originally pasted in a Google Doc)

2). Create an image file and write to disk on the Server.

Neither of the fs.writeFileSync seem to produce a readable image file.

Any advice on handling this would be awesome..

Pass the response as the body to your S3 upload.

var request = require('request'),
    fs = require('fs'),
    aws = require('aws-sdk'),
    s3 = new aws.S3(),
    url = 'https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-2XOcvsAH-kc/VHvmCm1aOoI/AAAAAAABtzg/SDdN1Vg5FFs/s346/14%2B-%2B1';

# Store in a file
request(url).pipe(fs.createWriteStream('file.gif'));

request(url, {encoding: 'binary'}, function(error, response, body) {
    # Another way to store in a file
    fs.writeFile('file.gif', body, 'binary', function(err) {});

    # Upload to S3
    s3.upload({
        Body: body,
        Bucket: 'BucketName',
        Key: 'file.gif',
    }, function(err, data) {});
});
