  Built this yesterday:

  
  

  import { stringify } from 'csv-stringify/sync'
  import archiver from 'archiver'
  
  export const downloadEndpoint: Endpoint = {
    path: '/download-zip',
    method: 'get',
    async handler(req, res, next) {
      // Only admins allowed
      if (!isAdmin(req.user)) return next()
  
      const result = await req.payload.find({
        collection: 'widgets',
        where, // derived from query params
        limit: 1000, // sanity check
      })
  
      const archive = archiver('zip', { zlib: { level: 9 } })
      archive.pipe(res)
      res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/zip')
      res.setHeader('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename=widgets.zip')
  
      const csv = stringify(result.docs, { header: true })
      archive.append(csv, { name: 'test.csv' })
      archive.finalize()
    },
  }

  Thanks for answer! 💚 ,

  
  

  Do you have some extra configuration for archiver? When I'm trying use it, I have a lot of errors

  If it's a webpack error, you should add archiver to payloadconfig.admin.webpack.resolve.alias so ot doesn't try to bundle it. Otherwise not other config

  
  

  
  

  You could consider to skip the zipping and return the csv straight away
