## About

## What it does
ZIP Archiver creates ZIP files from either remote file URLs or uploaded files. Send it a list of `urls` or a list of binary `files`, and get back either a streamed ZIP download or a signed link to the archive.

Use the `/url/download` and `/file/download` endpoints when you want the archive returned directly as binary data. Use the `/url/link` and `/file/link` endpoints when you prefer a generated URI you can store, share, or fetch later. The only input it needs is the list of files you want to bundle; the archive filename can be passed as `output` on the download and file-link variants.

ZIP Archiver is a good fit for packaging reports, assets, invoices, image sets, or any batch of documents into a single download. It also works well in backend workflows where you need to collect remote resources into one archive before handing them off to another service or user.
