Request multiple message types using WP REST API V2 (WordPress)

Question

Request multiple message types using WP REST API V2 (WordPress)

I have used the WordPress REST API Version 1 (V1) in the past on multiple sites. One of the features that I widely used was the ability to call several types of messages in a single request.

In the WP REST API version 1, I was able to use the following endpoint to get a list containing messages from message types bookand movie:

http://example.com/wp-json/posts?type[]=book&type[]=movie

I set my custom message types so that they are accessible from the api and can be called like this:

http://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/book/
http://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/movie/

What is the best way to accomplish this in the WP REST API version 2 (V2)? I looked at user endpoints, but I'm not sure if this will be the best solution for me ( http://v2.wp-api.org/extending/adding/ ). There may be a dozen or so custom message types, and I will need to run a dynamic query based on user input of the type of content that they want to see.

I am open to ideas or advice if previously someone solved a similar problem.

Thanks everyone!

Update:

I was informed on the WP-API problems forum that this is not possible in V2: https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/issues/2567
