Create bulk external LTI Items under a existing module using LTI APP in canvas lms

Question

I have a requirement where i have to create a bulk content item under already selected module in Canvas LMS.

How can I achieve it using Canvas API? I am able o create normal bulk content items under a module by using Create a module item

But in the similar way I want to add LTI content under the module as a module item.

selected_item_ids = [1,2,3,4]
course_id = params[:course_id]
module_id = params[:module_id]
form_data["modules"]["item"].each do |item|
  if selected_item_ids.include?(item["id"].to_i)
    title = item["title"].to_s
    item_type =  item["type"].to_s
    external_url =  item["external_url"].to_s
    secret =  item["secret"].to_s

    uri = URI.parse("http://example/api/v1/courses/"+course_id+"/modules/"+module_id+"/items")
    request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri)
    request["Authorization"] = "Bearer <token>"
    request.body = "module_item[title]="+title+"&module_item[type]=ExternalUrl&module_item[new_tab]=true&module_item[external_url]="+external_url

    req_options = {
      use_ssl: uri.scheme == "https",
    }

    response = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port, req_options) do |http|
      http.request(request)
    end
  end
end

Thanks in advance.

Based on their documentation and some tries by myself. It seems to zip file and upload one file might be the only way for the bulk files.
