Calling GET on channels is the only way to get the channel information if that channel is offline AFAIK which is what I am using it for so currently I make an individual web request per channel.

Is there a way to query for multiple channels in 1 call?

GET /streams has a “channels” csv option but this just returns live streams (obviously)  
GET /channels doesn’t seem to exist but it would be ideal to have the same sort of options available.

There is no bulk GET for channels.

Ok thanks for the info. Do you think this would be added in the future or no plans for that?

I get around this but following the target channels as then use the follow end point instead
