How do I combine multiple rest queries using YQL?

Question

For example I would like to combine multiple queries rest queries together. Right now I do the following code with different URLs one at a time. I think it would be faster

Answer 1

One possibility would be to build your own YQL table for this, which then executes the javascript you need in an ... block.

The other alternative that comes to mind is the query.multi YQL table.

Not sure that does what you want it do to but you can give it a try. Don't change the trailing quotation mark ("), it needs to stay directly after the last semicolon (this was a mistake that I just struggled with for some minutes).

USE 'http://javarants.com/yql/javascript.xml' AS j; 

SELECT * FROM query.multi WHERE queries="
select * from j where code='response.object = y.rest(\\'http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/P%5FqWQXyAPU/\\').followRedirects(false).get().headers';
select * from j where code='response.object = y.rest(\\'http://stackoverflow.com/feeds/question/4917144\\').followRedirects(false).get().headers';"
