Can multiple diffs be fetched in the same API request? If not, what is

best way to obtain diffs (in HTML form) for many
revision IDs at once?
Suggestions involving the Wikimedia Toolforge replica databases would
also
work, since I'm working on a Toolforge tool.
As far as I know,
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Compare is the
only API to get HTML formatted diffs between revisions. That Action
API endpoint does not have a "batch" option that would allow a single
API request to return multiple page diffs.
The Wiki Replicas do not provide revision content data (wikitext), so
there is no neat hack to be done there to work around the lack of a
batch diff API. I think your main option is making a diff request for
each page/revision you are interested in either in series or parallel
from your application code. I would love for someone else to prove me
wrong on that though. :)
