Get twitter button count for many urls with one API call

I found how to get share count of one url:

http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://example.com

since this is undocumented feature, official documentations says nothing about it, But is it possible to get count of many urls with one API call?

This method, as far as I know, only returns results for one URL, so you'll need to call count for each URL. I've never seen a call to count that has multiple URLs, and I think that makes sense, because the call is usually tied to only one tweet button -- there's never a multi-URL tweet button.

I would, however, discourage using this API until Twitter opens it explictly, since you run the risk of having your app suddenly stop working, or worse, getting your IP banned.
