The 
Extract Zip V2 flow step is used to extract every file compressed in a .zip file and then upload it to the file
API.
Step Inputs
In the Edit Step menu, you can add details about the step configuration as needed for your flow.
-
File API: Choose one of the following from the dropdown.
- File API: Select this option to input a direct File ID string.
- Legacy File API: Only select this option if your specific needs are not met by the other options.
- File Pointer: Recommended. Select this option to input a file pointer.
-
File IDs/File Pointers: Depending on the File API you selected, enter the file ID or file pointer of the .zip file you want to extract. This can be the output of a previously executed step.
Step Outputs
The contents of the .zip file are extracted.
The output of this flow step depends on how you configured the flow step.
- If File Pointer was selected, the flow step outputs a file pointer. For more information, see File Pointers.
- If Legacy File API was selected, the flow step outputs an AppNetwork URL and file ID.
Example Use Case
A common use case is that you are given a .zip file pointer and need to operate on every file in the .zip file. You can use this flow step to extract each file, then follow it with a For Each flow step to iterate over every file pointer.
