Hello everyone ! I have a problem with my deployment. I would like to deploy a website using zip file with an api in javascript This is my javascript code : ```auto const zipper = require('zip-local'); zipper.sync.zip(`${__dirname}/static/`).compress().save(`${__dirname}/builds/lastest_export.zip`); const url = `https://api.netlify.com/api/v1/sites/${process.env.NETLIFY_ID}/deploys` const file = fs.createReadStream(`${__dirname}/builds/lastest_export.zip`) axios.post(url, file, { headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/zip', 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + process.env.NETLIFY_TOKEN } }).then((result) => { // Some Code }) ``` When my js code is executed i have in Netlify a new deploy named “Production - Uploaded” and in the deploy log i have : ```auto 10:44:56 PM: Creating deploy upload records 10:44:56 PM: Unpacking archive 10:45:18 PM: Unpacking archive 10:46:05 PM: Unpacking archive 10:47:25 PM: Unpacking archive ``` This is the POST result datas : [Post result - Pastebin.com](https://pastebin.com/PHxqDGjc) After few seconds i have this : ![3](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/netlify/original/3X/a/b/ab0b04cb7c13bb87b1fbe6e303a32fc6e8288bc8.png) and nothing more in the Deploy Log.

Thanks for sharing the zip file, @remyrichard974 ! We were able to repro the issue and found in our logs that the deploy failed while extracting zip due to too many zip entries. Your zip file contained over 90 files and not 6. 😆 We believe this is a bug and will file a bug report. We’ll update you on what we find! ---

yeah so i tried both options of first creating a site and then deploying via zip and doing uploaing zip & and creating site together in one rewuest. both options result in build failing when it unzips. Do keep in mind my zips have atleast 10+ files inside them… then i tired the file digest method, creating and uploading the file digest with hashes work but uploading the file itself with a PUT request say “record not found” ---

Actually i got the file digest method to work i was reading the file data wrong. i just had to do open(file\_name, ‘rb’). Im assuming that caused the issue with the zip as well anyways…its working now ---
