Output shape
a single item containing a JSON object with metadata and a binary property that holds the processed image file
The returned binary property name is configurable and contains the processed image data. The JSON includes output filename, MIME type, and billing info. The output filename is derived from the given base name with an appropriate extension based on the output type and format. The image is fetched from the provided URL, processed remotely by BackgroundErase, and returned as binary data ready for downstream n8n workflow usage.
