REST API for downloading multiple documents

Ram Prasad Chaturvedi

Is it possible to download multiple documents in a single REST Web service call.
I wanted to return streams of files in a socket so at client side we will use some metadata information as identifier for differentiating the files.
This is the unimplemented logic i have as of now, Please correct me if this logic is wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Do you want to download metadata of multiple documents or content of multiple documents? I'm afraid that neither is available. You can get the information by single calls only.

There have been discussions about "batch call" which would combine multiple requests and return combined response, but it is still unclear if such call will be available.

You can also implement such request on your own to fit exactly your scenario.
