yes I can help

Here is an example ZIP showing the structure :

     368   9-Nov-2018  16:32:12  apiproxy/logging-example-1.xml
       0   9-Nov-2018  16:53:48  apiproxy/policies/

Extraneous entries at the toplevel are ignored. Extraneous entries in other directories will often (but not always) lead to problems.

A good way to generate a basic "bare minimum" ZIP bundle is to use the Apigee Admin UI to generate a passthrough proxy, then click "download" to get the zip.

I keep my proxies stored "unzipped" on my filesystem, and zip them only to import them. I use macos, and here is the command I use to zip a proxy bundle:

zip apiproxy-bundle.zip -r apiproxy -x \*.\*~

The -x option there omits backup files from the bundle - these are files named with a twiddle (~) that get auto-generated by my text editor.

If you are interested, there are scripts and tools that zip up bundles for you, and can import and deploy too.

For example

here is a script in nodejs

here is a powershell module that lets you do this:

PS C:\dev\ps> Import-EdgeApi -Name dino-test-6 -Source c:\my\directory
