How to Create a New ZIP Archive in Node.JS

A Zip archive allows its user to protect sensitive information as well as compress large amounts of data into an easily loaded and shared format. The following API will allow you to create a new Zip archive using Node.JS. For this function, up to ten files can be input for compression.

To use this API, run this command to install the SDK:

npm install cloudmersive-convert-api-client --save

You can also add this snippet to your package.json:

"dependencies": {
    "cloudmersive-convert-api-client": "^2.4.8"
  }

Then, you can call the function:

var CloudmersiveConvertApiClient = require('cloudmersive-convert-api-client');
var defaultClient = CloudmersiveConvertApiClient.ApiClient.instance;
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
var Apikey = defaultClient.authentications['Apikey'];
Apikey.apiKey = 'YOUR API KEY';
var apiInstance = new CloudmersiveConvertApiClient.ZipArchiveApi();
var inputFile1 = Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync("C:\\temp\\inputfile").buffer); // File | First input file to perform the operation on.
var opts = { 
  'inputFile2': Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync("C:\\temp\\inputfile").buffer), // File | Second input file to perform the operation on.
  'inputFile3': Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync("C:\\temp\\inputfile").buffer), // File | Third input file to perform the operation on.
  'inputFile4': Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync("C:\\temp\\inputfile").buffer), // File | Fourth input file to perform the operation on.
  'inputFile5': Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync("C:\\temp\\inputfile").buffer), // File | Fifth input file to perform the operation on.
  'inputFile6': Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync("C:\\temp\\inputfile").buffer), // File | Sixth input file to perform the operation on.
  'inputFile7': Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync("C:\\temp\\inputfile").buffer), // File | Seventh input file to perform the operation on.
  'inputFile8': Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync("C:\\temp\\inputfile").buffer), // File | Eighth input file to perform the operation on.
  'inputFile9': Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync("C:\\temp\\inputfile").buffer), // File | Ninth input file to perform the operation on.
  'inputFile10': Buffer.from(fs.readFileSync("C:\\temp\\inputfile").buffer) // File | Tenth input file to perform the operation on.
};
var callback = function(error, data, response) {
  if (error) {
    console.error(error);
  } else {
    console.log('API called successfully. Returned data: ' + data);
  }
};
apiInstance.zipArchiveZipCreate(inputFile1, opts, callback);

This will return a downloadable file for your use. You can retrieve the API Key from Cloudmersive at no cost and with no commitment. This will give you access to 800 monthly calls across our library of APIs.
