    API Reference

    Use combinations of the following query string parameters to compress and extract files on demand:

    Mode  m

    m=archive

    Archives the file.

    The resulting file archive will be in the format specified by the f parameter.

    m=extract

    Extracts the file archive.

    The file must be a valid archive of type .zip, .tar, .gz, .tgz, .tar.gz, .bz2 or .tar.bz2.

    The response will be a list of file sizes and file paths.

    Use the artifact parameter to download a specific file from the archive.

    Output Format  f

    f=tar

    Archives the file into a .tar archive.

    f=tar.gz

    Archives the file into a .tar.gz archive.

    f=zip

    Archives the file into a .zip archive.

    Compression Level  c

    c=<int>

    Sets the compression level for the resulting file archive.

    •0 = lowest compression and largest file size.

    •9 = highest compression and smallest file size.

    Note: if c is set then f must be zip or tar.gz (tar files are uncompressed).
