Can I insert EDUPUB (like Zip file) in marklogic database through Rest API extension module

User will upload EDUPUB/Zip file from UI. We want to implement a REST api extension module to take EDUPUB/Zip file and ingest into a MarkLogic database. Does MarkLogic API api support this? Any suggestions?

I implemented the code below for extracting and uploading a EDUPUB/Zip file

xquery version "1.0-ml";
declare namespace zip="xdmp:zip";

declare function local:epubupload ($filepath as xs:string)
{
let $get_document :=xdmp:document-get($filepath)
let $get_uri := fn:document-uri($get_document)
let $get_document_uri := fn:concat($get_uri, "/")

let $get_collection := fn:tokenize($get_uri, "\\")[last()]
let $epub_extract := xdmp:zip-manifest($get_document)
for $each_file in $epub_extract/zip:part/text()
let $document_data := xdmp:zip-get($get_document, $each_file)
let $full_document_uri := fn:concat($get_document_uri, $each_file)
return xdmp:document-insert($full_document_uri, $document_data, (),    $get_collection)
};
local:epubupload("c:\data\sample.epub")

But for the REST api what is the parameter? And how to get whole file from user system?

If you are creating your own REST extension, then you can use the following pattern on the zip payload:

1 Iterate over the zip file using xdmp:zip-manifest
2 For each entry, use xdmp:zip-get to extract the file
3 Save it into MarkLogic via xdmp:document-insert

Depending on how you posted the content, xdmp:base64-decode may be part of your code to actually get to your zip file.
