REST Get for multi values with multi keys -


i have restful server implement request entity while entity have multi keys. example, getting contact information specific company in specific country (nike, germany):

get: http://hostname/rest/accounts/{company}/{country}

i want add functionality allow client query multiple company/countries pairs in 1 call. since have millions of records in db don't ever want return data. also, client may need ~1000 records, don't want him make ~1000 calls.

i thought of adding pairs of company/country in body of request, answer here http request body suggested it's bad practice.

i can't use query string params because have information , servers have limit on size of url.

what's rest practice such case?

there official proposal multi-request protocol - here (background). possibly because relies on http/2 deliver efficiency gain, doesn't seem have momentum @ present.

for few resources, specify them in url. problem de-facto url limit of ~2000 characters. while applies ie, think api should work in browsers, , applies elsewhere because of ie's restriction.

for reason, think have 2 choices.

realistically need use post request body contains list of requested paths, e.g. json-encoded array. it's bad practice reference suggests, it's considered reasonable in situation. practical downside it's not cacheable.
