Get-URI: Universal Readable Stream from Any URI

This n8n workflow leverages the get-uri library to transform any URI string into a Node.js readable stream, handling protocols like HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, file paths, and data URIs effortlessly. In finance automations, it enables pulling market data feeds, FTP-hosted reports, or inline data blobs without protocol-specific nodes, streamlining data ingestion.

Key benefits include reduced complexity by unifying URI handling, improved error management via debug logging, and compatibility with Node.js 14+. It saves time by eliminating custom code for multi-protocol fetches, allowing focus on data processing logic in n8n.

Use cases span finance: automate downloading stock reports from secure FTP servers, streaming real-time API data over HTTPS, or processing embedded CSV data URIs from emails. Integrate with downstream nodes for parsing, transforming, and storing financial datasets, enhancing ETL pipelines and reporting workflows.

Overall, it boosts reliability for cross-protocol data flows, minimizing failures in production automations and accelerating development for finance teams relying on varied data sources.
