Zip to Text Extractor

Heavstal Unzip is a specialized tool for developers and AI engineers. It downloads a remote ZIP file, recursively extracts every file inside, and compiles them into a single, structured .txt file.

This is extremely useful for feeding an entire project codebase into ChatGPT, Claude, or DeepSeek for analysis without manually copying files.

Endpoint

Field	Type	Required	Description
