Two urls with difference of one optional parameter to map to same resource in flask restful

I have two endpoints:

I have a class that handles for the latter like this

class ListUsers(Resource):
    def post(self,resource):
         // get the list of users under that resource

api.addResource(ListUsers,'/api/v1/<resource>/users')

If the resource is not specified, I want to list users from all resources. Is it possible to map both the urls to the same class ListUsers instead of writing another class for the first url?

According the the docs and source code for flask-restful, you can pass multiple urls to match to addResource.

like:

class ListUsers(Resource):
    def post(self, resource=None):
        // get the list of users under that resource

api.addResource(ListUsers, '/api/v1/<resource>/users', '/api/v1/users')
