title: Returning JSON data from a user activity POST batch request
body: <p>My post in a batch request looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;feed xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'
  xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/'
  xmlns:batch='http://schemas.google.com/gdata/batch'
  xmlns:yt='http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007'&gt;
  &lt;batch:operation type='query'/&gt;
  &lt;entry&gt;
  &lt;id&gt;http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/ytUser1&lt;/id&gt;
  &lt;/entry&gt;
  &lt;entry&gt;
  &lt;id&gt;https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/ytUser2&lt;/id&gt;
  &lt;/entry&gt;
  &lt;entry&gt;
  &lt;id&gt;https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/ytUser3&lt;/id&gt;
  &lt;/entry&gt;
  &lt;/feed&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Except of course with real users and more of them. I am getting the xml feed back fine. Is there a way to request JSON formatted data using POST? I know using ?alt=json in a GET request returns json, but is it possible, and if so how in a POST batch request?</p>
