/v1/archive-extractor

Extract ZIP/RAR/7Z archives.

Tool Usage Notes

Accepts one or multiple archive URLs.
If exactly one file is extracted from one archive, you get a single file.
Otherwise, extracted content is returned as ZIP.
Important: current extractor reliably supports ZIP archives; non-ZIP formats may fail.
