Please clarify "Bulk Remove a List of Issues" API

Problem Statement

Hi, the "Bulk Remove a List of Issues" API is missing some important details: https://docs.sentry.io/api/events/bulk-remove-a-list-of-issues/

The example does not show how the list of issue IDs should be provided, and the parameter description is not clear.

To me, this means id[]=1&id[]=2&id[]=3, because that's how I'm used to passing a "list" or "array" in URLs in web applications, and multiple web frameworks support this.

However, if I try this, then instead of getting an error that the API is not recognizing the format of the query, it appears Sentry just deletes every single issue in the project. This seems insane to me.

Solution Brainstorm

Please clarify how the API should be used, and perhaps show an error when the URL query is invalid instead of deleting every single issue in a project.

This function does not seem to handle multiple issues, it accepts only one issue, that too in /issues/issues-id format, maybe we can try /issues/id1,id2,id3 and split them in delete function and delete one by one. I tried to look at code and can be entirely wrong.
