A bulk deletion isn't defined as part of their "Standard Methods" .. For stuff that doesn't fit the standard methods, they have this page on custom methods: https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/custom_methods https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/custom_methods That said, I'd implement a bulk deletion in one of three ways: :::: ONE DELETE /thingies/id1,id2,id3 When all is ok, the response is a 200. However, if one of the deletions fail, how you handle the response is more complicated. :::: TWO POST /thingies/bulk_delete and have your ID's listed in the body. Still same problem with handling the response. :::: THREE POST /bulk Instead of implementing a bulk deletion at all, think about how you can implement "bulk requests" as a higher level feature of the API. So you can transport a bunch of delete's as part of a single HTTP request, and get back a bunch of response codes packaged into a single response.
