Requesting category information when getting subnodes

Is there a way to request category information when querying subnodes? Or do you have to make an additional calls for the category information.
For instance say if I have 25 documents in a folder in Content Server, the node id of the folder is 55020391. I can get all of the documents (subnodes) by:
https:////cs.exe/api/v1/nodes/55020391/nodes

But I also want to get a certain category field for each of these documents, do I have to make a request for each of these documents (which would mean I have to make 25 more requests):
loop for each document
make a request to get the categories I want eg. https:////cs.exe/api/v1/nodes//categories/47343068

Or is there a way I can do this in one request?

I am afraid that this is not possible with the core CS REST API. You would have to perform multiple requests, as you describe, or you could write your custom REST API request handler for it.

I am also looking for this. To retrieve categories associated to a node, Is it still the same way as mentioned by Hayden? or any other better way introduced in CS 16?. Please let me know. I am concerned with the amount of rest calls being made to each category associated to a made.

Unfortunately, there is still no way to retrieve all categories (assigned to a node) at once in the (public) CS 16 REST API.
