Batch insert permissions API with Google Drive API in Javascript

Question

I'm trying to set permissions to several files in Google Drive using their API. I'd like to batch the insert permission API

So far, this is what I tried:

var httpBatch = gapi.client.newHttpBatch();

for(var fileIndex = 0; fileIndex < files.length; ++fileIndex) {
  httpBatch.add(
    gapi.client.request({
      path: 'drive/v2/files/' + files[fileIndex].id + '/permissions',
      method: 'POST',
      params: {
        value: 'some_user@gmail.com',
        type: 'user',
        role: 'writer'
      }
    })
  );
}

httpBatch.execute(callback);

I also tried to use the API "gapi.client.drive.permissions.insert" but I can't find a a way to do the batching properly with it.

I really hope this is possible. Anyway I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks a lot.

Ok I got answers from Google guys, thanks a lot to them.

Here is how it should be done:

var httpBatch = gapi.client.newHttpBatch();

for(var fileIndex = 0; fileIndex < files.length; ++fileIndex) {
  httpBatch.add(
    gapi.client.request({
      path: 'drive/v2/files/' + files[fileIndex].id + '/permissions',
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        value: 'some_user@gmail.com',
        type: 'user',
        role: 'writer'
      })
    })
  );
}
