I am having issues with this Zap and cannot seem to resolve it.  I contacted Zip Archive API and they said it was a known issue and blamed google and zapier.  They suggested I reconnect my google account so I went to the zapier connections and ‘RE-CONNECTED’ google and tried again and no luck.  

 

Any other ideas? please and thanks…

 

Failed to create an extract in Zip Archive API

The app returned "Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded. Continued use requires signup.".

@Troy Tessalone thanks and I already did.

So get this… Archive ZIP API just responded to my email and said that they can only extract ONE file from a zip file.  Talk about a headscratcher… what is the point of that.  They claim it is a limitation of zapier.

Hi @frankrom 

Good question.

I’d recommend opening a ticket with Zapier Support for this: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

FYI: Most apps on Zapier are built and maintained by the app developers themselves, rather than by Zapier.

Maybe try using the API from ConvertAPI: https://www.convertapi.com/zip-to-extract

@Troy Tessalone I was eyeing covertapi but the idea of paying $50 a month only to extract a handful of files a month makes no sense.  I wish it was more on a credit basis than a monthly cost.

 

Thx Troy.
