Zip Downloader and Extractor
This Actor downloads a zip file from a provided URL and extracts its contents to a specified folder in the key-value store. It's built with Apify SDK for reliable file handling and data storage.

- Input schema - define and easily validate a schema for your Actor's input

How it works
The Actor takes a URL to a zip file and an optional folder name as input. It downloads the zip file asynchronously, extracts all files (skipping directories), and stores each file in the key-value store under the specified folder. Metadata about each extracted file (filename, size, folder) is pushed to the dataset for easy access and review.
