// Create a route that listen to request
routes.set({
    method: 'POST',
    route: '/bulk',
    get_keys: function (request, response) {
        if (request.body.keys && Array.isArray(request.body.keys)) {
            // If ok, return an array of ID string
            return request.body.keys;
        }
