I am trying to get file content of a media library item inside my controller so I can convert them to a zip and let user download them through a custom controller endpoint.

module.exports = {
    async find(ctx) {
        const entities = await strapi.services["cars"].find({
            _where: { ID: 001 },
        });

        // I have media url inside entities, but how do I get the content so I can pass it to a function to zip it 
        // up. 


         // zip function...
         // return ReadableStream
    }
}
