<p>The API currently lets us fetch <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Details_of_a_user" rel="nofollow">details for a single user</a> like this:</p>
<pre><code>GET /api/0.6/user/#id
</code></pre>
<p>It would be nice to be able to fetch details for several users with a single call, similar to how we can do for <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#Multi_fetch:_GET_.2Fapi.2F0.6.2F.5Bnodes.7Cways.7Crelations.5D.3F.23parameters" rel="nofollow">other OSM objects</a>:</p>
<pre><code>Multi fetch: GET /api/0.6/[nodes|ways|relations]?#parameters
</code></pre>
<p><g-emoji class="g-emoji" alias="point_up" fallback-src="https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/261d.png">☝️</g-emoji> add to above things like.. <code>users</code>  <code>notes</code></p>
<h3>why?</h3>
<p>The reason I'm requesting this for <code>users</code> is because soon iD will start showing OSM notes:</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/38784/42361261-7ae1f76c-80bb-11e8-8487-b910b37672dd.png"><img width="960" alt="screenshot 2018-07-06 01 25 07" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/38784/42361261-7ae1f76c-80bb-11e8-8487-b910b37672dd.png" style="max-width:100%;"></a></p>
<p>I'd like to include the user's profile pictures next to their comments.  So we currently just fire off a bunch of single user GET calls and cache the results, but would be nice to fetch many at a time.</p>
