What is ZipKit?

ZipKit is a powerful API that fetches files from the URLs you provide, bundles them into a single ZIP archive, and stores the result in your cloud storage bucket (S3 or R2). When the ZIP is ready, ZipKit sends a webhook notification so your system knows as soon as it’s ready. Key Features:
  • 🚀 Simple REST API - Create zips with a single API call
  • ☁️ Your cloud storage - Zips are stored in your own S3 or R2 buckets
  • 🔔 Webhook notifications - Get instant alerts when zips are ready
  • 🔒 Secure - All requests use HTTPS and bearer token authentication
  • ⚡ Fast & scalable - Handles large files and multiple concurrent jobs

​
Common Use Cases

  • Document Processing - Bundle multiple documents (PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets) into a single downloadable archive for users
  • Image Galleries - Create ZIP archives of photo collections for easy download
  • Backup & Export - Generate ZIP exports of user data for compliance or data portability
  • Report Distribution - Combine multiple report files into a single archive for distribution
  • Asset Delivery - Package design assets, code files, or resources for delivery to clients

​
How It Works

  1. Configure your cloud storage bucket (S3 or R2) in the ZipKit dashboard
  2. Create an access token for API authentication
  3. Send a POST request with URLs of files to bundle
  4. Receive a webhook when the zip is ready in your bucket
  5. Download or share the zip from your cloud storage
