How to extract a zip file via the UAPI?

[Ram Freedman]

Hi,
I upload a file to my server via sftp and now I want to use a UAPI command to extract the file to a certain folder - but I don't see such a command in the documentation in the Manage Files section.

I see that in the old cPanel API 2 Functions there is this call: Fileman::fileop but there is also this warning:

We strongly recommend that you use UAPI instead of cPanel API 2. However, no equivalent UAPI function exists.

So what is the way to extract a zip file to a specific folder while using the UAPI?
Regards,
Ram

Hey there! Everything you've found is correct - there isn't a newer API call.

You're welcome to use the older API2 call as long as it works well for you.

Hi,
How are you?
I guess that I cannot use the new UAPI method and the old API2 call at the same time - right?
I mean that I cannot authenticate using the new UAPI method and call an API2 call - right?

Is there any plan that you are aware about - to add the Fileman::fileop to the new UAPI?

Thanks!
Ram

@Ram Freedman - I'm not seeing any details on that being added. Can you create a feature request using the link in my signature? If you aren't able to do that I can create one for you.

Hi @cPRex
I added a new feature request as you suggested.
I hope this will be added soon since it's very important to be able to control the various file operation via the UAPI.
Thanks!
Ram
