REST API provides a powerful, convenient, and simple REST-based Web services interface for interacting with Salesforce. Its advantages include ease of integration and development, and it’s an excellent choice of technology for use with mobile applications and Web projects. However, if you have a large number of records to process, you may wish to useBulk APIBulk API, which is based on REST principles and optimized for large sets of data.
With REST API it is usually one record retrival or update at a time, but if you can customize the end UI to process multiple records in small number and process a class function.
