Are multiple inserts supported through the REST API?

I want to send multiple records to insert in a table in single REST API call to Cassandra. Does datastax api service allow this? If yes, please share sample request JSON

Inserting multiple records is not supported with the REST API because it will overload the coordinator and is inefficient as far as throughput goes. The same mechanism is not recommended with the native CQL protocol since it achieves the opposite of the outcome you're after.

We recommend making multiple requests for each insert operation to maximise throughput and performance of the cluster. Cheers!
