There should be an option to do batch requests to external services

[LLCampos]

Requests for documents to external services will probably be one of the biggest time bottlenecks that we will have, so we probably should probably do batch requests if that's possible.

• [x] Pubmed

• [x] PMC

• [x] Patent Server

So that the external services clients support batch requests I was thinking about something along the lines of:

Input:

bash pubmed.sh [id1] [id2] [id3]

Output:

{
  "id1": {
    "title": "título1",
    "abstract": "abstract1"
  },
  "id2": {
    "title": "título2",
    "abstract": "abstract2"
  },
  "id3": {
    "title": "título3",
    "abstract": "abstract3"
  }
}

@AndreLamurias, what do you think?

[AndreLamurias]

agreed

Done this for the clients that are already implemented. Probably broke some of your code because the output of the clients changed.
