Regarding getting TFS WorkItems using Ids

I was using rest api for tfs to get workitems details by ids but when i am giving all the ids the api is turning to be very large and hence its not processing and returning internal server error message.
My concern is that can you people make this api as post request as well so that i can pass as many ids as we can.
Thanks,
Sangam

@Powerhelmsman The doc link i used to get the api is https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/vsts/wit/work%20items/list
In the api GET https://{accountName}.visualstudio.com/{project}/_apis/wit/workitems?ids={ids}&api-version=4.1-preview if i am giving lots of ids comma seperated then its failing because of url length.

Please help me out with some alternate solution

It will be good if api is like getting all the work item details of specific project without specifying one one ids of each work items. We are having python based addon to pull data from tfs account and index it in splunk. This i want basically for Splunk addon.
