PHP: Can I cURL POST a base64 encoded string as a file to an API

Question

I'm trying to move a file from one API (call it "API-A") and cURL POST it to another API (call it "API-B").

API-A gives me the file as a base64 encoded string.

Right now, I can convert the string, save it as a file, post it, then delete it on my end.

This works, but it feels inefficient. Is there any to take the base64 string I got from API-A, convert it to a blob or something, then POST it as a file?

Thanks!

Looks like the question was already answered here:

I got hung up on the file-encoding portion. Good catch by Bytewave.
