Question on `_bulk` method?

[Zach Williams]

Hey,

I was wondering if ThriftDB's _bulk method existed for hnsearch? I haven't been able to get it to work, but I could be completely misusing it, though.

For instance, instead of doing a GET request for both: http://api.thriftdb.com/api.hnsearch.com/users/_search?karma=99 and http://api.thriftdb.com/api.hnsearch.com/users/_search?karma=120 ...

I would try a _bulk/get_multi search: http://api.thriftdb.com/api.hnsearch.com/users/_bulk/get_multi?karma=99,120

The _bulk search only returns an empty array, though.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Zach,

ThriftDB's _bulk/get_multi method only fetches items by primary key:

http://api.thriftdb.com/api.hnsearch.com/users/_bulk/get_multi?ids=username1,username2

If you want to search by karma you can use search filters:

http://api.thriftdb.com/api.hnsearch.com/users/_search?filter[fields][karma]=99
http://api.thriftdb.com/api.hnsearch.com/users/_search?filter[fields][karma]=99%20OR%20120

http://api.thriftdb.com/api.hnsearch.com/users/_search?filter[fields][karma]=[99%20TO%20120]

Hope that helps!
