[DELETE] /notices/1,2,3

Critique

• Violates REST API principles.

  • Semantic violation since 1,2,3 is not a resource.

• It opens up to an arbitrary amount of IDs in the URI.

• This is also undesired because the controller has to parse the IDs, increasing overhead in the handler.

Suggestion

• This should be:

  • Three separate calls.

  • OR accept query parameters as a filter

    • ?id[]=1&id[]=2&id[]=3

      • HTTP will automatically construct this format into an array.

    • ?id=1,2,3

      • The controller will need to parse the IDs manually.

Final Suggestion

[DELETE] /notices?id[]=1&id[]=2&id[]=3
