Is it possible to load any object stored in a JSON file in an API, having its URL?

So i’m using the Rick and Morty API https://rickandmortyapi.com/api/character it returns me a JSON file with the information of every character of the show, what I want to do is: from the field image, which stores an image URL, I want to access to the image of that character in runtime in UE4. I already got the image URL string of any character of this API, but I still don’t know how to access to the image contained in that URL without dowloading it.
I’m using VaRest plugin to get the data from the API.

You can try this node: Download Image | Unreal Engine Documentation

Believe it downloads a temp file, so it will be dumped when game closes or stored variable is cleared. You’ll need to test if this is true, not much info on this node.
