Output shape

One or more n8n items containing extracted resource data; may also include binary image data when enabled.

Image binary output is optional and controlled by Return Images as Binary. The provided source pack exposes the operation and helper names but omits their bodies, so the exact JSON fields and item structure cannot be specified.
