Answer 1

Express has a tool to check if your path will match the route you are creating : Express.js route tester.

As Jose Mato says you have to decide how to structure your url:

1. ?foo=1&foo=2
2. ?foo[]=1&foo[]=2

The http request should look like this, if you chose method 1:

http://baseurl/api/?foo=1&foo=2

Your route should have this logic:

app.get('/api/:person', (req, res) => {
    /*This will create an object that you can iterate over.*/
    for (let foo of req.params.foo) {
      /*Do some logic here*/
    }
});
