In typical business applications you often have two endpoints: One to fetch a single resource and one to fetch all resources of that type. Why not merge them and work with lists, I think a lot people would intuitively understand the following: GET /users?ids=1 { "users": [] } GET /users?ids=1,2,3,4 { "users": [ { "id": 3 } ] } Transport the ids in any way you like, that's not my point.
