Does the decompress snap not work for you?

You can extract the contents of a ZIP file with the ZipFile Read Snap. Note that the snap reads the file from a location and doesn’t take it as an input from the upstream snap. If the request you’re doing is to a URL, it might work fine. Otherwise, you might need to write the output of the REST GET to a temporary file before reading it into the ZipFile Read snap.

The Decompress snap is for stream compression, like GZIP/BZIP2, not compressed archives, like ZIP.

We have a similar situation, we are making REST POST request and getting back zip in response. I want to rename files (files which we get after extracting zip file). Is there a way, we can perform this task without writing the file to the temporary location?

Thanks.
