# Method name: generateFilesDownloadUrl(fileIds: Array<string>)

# Method package: wixMediaV2

# Method menu location: wixMediaV2 --> files --> generateFilesDownloadUrl

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-media-v2/files/generate-files-download-url.md

# Method Description:

Generates a URL for downloading a compressed file containing specific files in the Media Manager.

The compressed file can contain up to 1000 files.

To generate a permanent URL for downloading a compressed file that contains multiple files in the Media Manager, call the Generate Files Download URL endpoint.
Since this is a permanent URL, it is less secure.
Therefore, to download private files, call the Generate File Download URL endpoint for each private file that you want to generate a download URL for.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.

## Generate a download url for multiple files (dashboard page code)

```javascript
import { files } from 'wix-media.v2';

/* Sample fileIds value:
 * [
 *   'd4dde1_dee18c9ada174a818ccf75c50e72c739~mv2.jpg',
 *   'd4dde1_84a62b7aeb874f73a7b736cad663d6f2.pdf',
 *   'd4dde1_e26da94b5cb440649ede0c433425449c~mv2.jpg'
 * ]
 */

async function myGenerateFilesDownloadUrlFunction(fileIds) {
  try {
    const generatedUrl = await files.generateFilesDownloadUrl(fileIds);

    const url = generatedUrl.downloadUrl;
    return url;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    // Handle the error
  }
}

/* Promise resolves to:
 * {
 *   "downloadUrl": "https://archive.wixmp.com/archive/wix/38f69e35c283495187e85be0c8c06caf"
 * }
 */

```

## Generate a download url for multiple files (export from backend code)

```javascript
import { Permissions, webMethod } from 'wix-web-module';
import { files } from 'wix-media.v2';
import { elevate } from 'wix-auth';

/* Sample fileIds value:
 * [
 *   'd4dde1_dee18c9ada174a818ccf75c50e72c739~mv2.jpg',
 *   'd4dde1_84a62b7aeb874f73a7b736cad663d6f2.pdf',
 *   'd4dde1_e26da94b5cb440649ede0c433425449c~mv2.jpg'
 * ]
 */

export const myGenerateFilesDownloadUrlFunction = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, async (fileIds) => {
  try {
    const elevatedGenerateFilesDownloadUrl = elevate(files.generateFilesDownloadUrl)
    const generatedUrl = await elevatedGenerateFilesDownloadUrl(fileIds);

    const url = generatedUrl.downloadUrl;
    return url;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    // Handle the error
  }
});

/* Promise resolves to:
 * {
 *   "downloadUrl": "https://archive.wixmp.com/archive/wix/38f69e35c283495187e85be0c8c06caf"
 * }
 */
```

## Generate a download url for all images in media 

```javascript
/********************************************
 * Backend code - download-files-url.web.js *
 *******************************************/

import { Permissions, webMethod } from 'wix-web-module';
import { files } from 'wix-media.v2';

  try {
    const elevatedGenerateFilesDownloadUrl = elevate(files.generateFilesDownloadUrl)
    const generatedUrl = await elevatedGenerateFilesDownloadUrl(fileIds);

    return generatedUrl.downloadUrl;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
});
  
export const listImages = webMethod(Permissions.Anyone, async () => {
  const listOptions = {
    mediaTypes: ["IMAGE"]
  }

  try {
    const elevatedListFiles = elevate(files.listFiles)
    const images = await elevatedListFiles(listOptions);

    return images.files;
  } catch (error) {

  }
});


/*************

  getDownloadUrl();
});

async function getDownloadUrl() {
  const images = await listImages();

  const imageIds = images.map((image) => {
    return image._id;
  });
  const downloadUrl = await generateDownloadUrl(imageIds);

  $w('#downloadFiles').link = downloadUrl;
  await $w('#downloadFiles').enable();
