Read a stored file
read_storage_file
Returns the contents of one stored file, base64 encoded.
Scopedata:readRead only
The bytes arrive base64 encoded in a content field alongside the content type and size, so decode them before use. Pass the full key exactly as list_storage_files returned it.
Files over 5 MB are refused with a 413, but the practical limit is far lower. A tool result is cut off at 60,000 characters and base64 inflates by a third, so any file larger than about three quarters of that many bytes comes back truncated and will not decode. Use it for small text, JSON, CSV and SVG files, and get_storage_file_url for anything bigger.
It reads the CMS folder at the top level like any other folder, and keeps working while a storage backup is being restored. See The CMS folder.
