Instance Method Details

#batch(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Public: The Batch Process endpoint allows you to batch several API requests into a single request to improve performance by eliminating excess network overhead. This endpoint will proxy requests (up to 20 per batch) on your behalf to any other API endpoint which accepts GET requests.

Yields array of URLs to api endpoints

Example

respnose = FullContact.batch do 
  [FullContact.normalize('Mr. John Michael Smith'),
   FullContact.deduce_by_email('[email protected]')]
  end
'response' contains batch response from the api

Returns response from different api methods in the batch
