Unarchiver Extractor

What it does

Archive Extractor unpacks ZIP, RAR, and 7Z archives and returns signed URLs for each extracted file. Send it either a remote archive URL or a local archive upload, and you get back an array of file URLs you can download or pass to downstream workflows.

Use POST /url/link when the archive is already hosted somewhere accessible by URL. Use POST /file/link when you have the archive file in hand and want to upload it directly. In both cases, the response is a data array of signed cloud storage URLs, one for each file extracted from the archive.

This is a good fit for ingestion pipelines, document processing, and support tooling where users submit bundled assets. For example, you can accept a ZIP of invoices, extract each file, and forward the returned URLs to OCR, storage, or review steps without doing archive handling in your own code.

Archive Extractor keeps the interface simple: one input for the archive, one structured list of file links out. That makes it easy to drop into file intake jobs, batch processors, or any backend that needs to open compressed uploads and work with the extracted contents individually.
