Get data of multiple items in a single request

[georg94]

It would be nice, if I could request the data of multiple items in one request. At the Moment I can only get one item per request. For exaple if I want the current prices for "Pile of Crystalline Dust", "Destroyer Core" and "Bottle of Elonian Wine" I have to make three requests to the API:

curl http://www.gw2spidy.com/api/v0.9/json/item/24277
curl http://www.gw2spidy.com/api/v0.9/json/item/24324
curl http://www.gw2spidy.com/api/v0.9/json/item/19663

It would be less effort for the API if you could make a request like this:

curl http://www.gw2spidy.com/api/v0.9/json/items/24277,24324,19663

or

curl -X POST http://www.gw2spidy.com/api/v0.9/json/items -d '{ [24277, 24324, 19663] }'

And get a result like this:

in case anyone else stumbles upon this issue: RTFM and try

    /api/v0.9/json/items/*all*?filter_ids=24277,24324 

this feature is actually already supported! ;)

hehe, thanks for answering that yourself ;-)

it's abit of a hidden featuer because with large lists of IDs it's kinda painful for the server ( > 100 IDs with high frequency of requesting it )
