Google Firestore - how to get document by multiple ids in one round trip?

Question

I am wondering if it\'s possible to get multiple documents by list of ids in one round trip (network call) to the Firestore.

Answer 1

No, right now there is no way to batch multiple read requests using the Cloud Firestore SDK and therefore no way to guarantee that you can read all of the data at once.

However as Frank van Puffelen has said in the comments above this does not mean that fetching 3 documents will be 3x as slow as fetching one document. It is best to perform your own measurements before reaching a conclusion here.
