MCP

Give your agent Zip Archive API tools

Every Zip Archive API action is exposed as an MCP tool on Pipedream's remote server. Point a client at it with your end user's ID and Connect resolves that user's Zip Archive API account for each tool call — you store no tokens.

Pipedream Connect

// accessToken: mint a short-lived token with the Connect SDK — see the MCP guide
const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),

API PROXY

Call the Zip Archive API API directly

For an endpoint with no pre-built tool, the Connect proxy forwards your request to the Zip Archive API API with the connected user's credentials attached. You store no tokens and write no refresh logic.

Pipedream Connect

const resp = await pd.proxy.get({
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  accountId: "apn_xxxxxxx",
  url: "https://api.archiveapi.com/extract",
})

// Any allowed Zip Archive API endpoint works here. Pipedream attaches the
// connected account's credentials to the outgoing request.

# The path segment is the target URL, URL-safe base64 encoded:
# https://api.archiveapi.com/extract

curl "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/proxy/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcGkuYXJjaGl2ZWFwaS5jb20vZXh0cmFjdA?external_user_id={external_user_id}&account_id=apn_xxxxxxx" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "x-pd-environment: production"

SDK

Run Zip Archive API actions from your backend

Connect a user's Zip Archive API account once, then run Compress Files on their behalf from your own code — TypeScript, Python, or plain HTTP.

Pipedream Connect

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "zip_archive_api-compress-files",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    zip_archive_api: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    archiveName: "Archive Name",
    compressionLevel: 10,
  },
})

from pipedream import Pipedream

pd = Pipedream(
    client_id="{oauth_client_id}",
    client_secret="{oauth_client_secret}",
    project_id="{project_id}",
    project_environment="production",
)

result = pd.actions.run(
    id="zip_archive_api-compress-files",
    external_user_id="{external_user_id}",  # any stable ID for this user in your system
    configured_props={
        "zip_archive_api": {"authProvisionId": "apn_xxxxxxx"},
        "archiveName": "Archive Name",
        "compressionLevel": 10,
    },
)
