Magento 2 REST API: Empty cart or delete multiple items from the cart

Question

I am working on a headless magento solution, but I am facing a bit of a problem.

As the official magento 2 docs suggest, cart items can be deleted using these:

DELETE /V1/guest-carts/:cartId/items/:itemId -> For Guest Users

DELETE /V1/carts/mine/items/:itemId -> For Signed-in users

Is there a way to delete multiple items without using the same API multiple times, or more conveniently empty the cart?

Answer 1

Magento documentation does not specify an endpoint that allows for bulk deletion. Neither for signed-in users nor guest users.

You can, however, define custom endpoints (see an official documentation page). There's also a tutorial that shows how to do it for bulk edit.
