I'd like to update several items on a list through the rest api, this is how I update one item:

    update: {
        method: 'POST',
        contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
        headers: {
            "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
            "Content-Type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
            "X-RequestDigest": function() {return  $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()},
            "X-HTTP-Method": "MERGE",
            "If-Match": '*'
        },
        url: "serverRelativeURL/_api/lists/getByTitle('ListName')/items(:ID)"
    }

Where ":ID" is the id of the list item

Is is possible to update multiple items, without doing this request in a loop for each item?

You can do that using batch request. Batch request is only available in SharePoint Online & SharePoint 2016. Find some useful references.

we're using 2013, but still useful, thanks – klskl Oct 18 '16 at 6:55
    
then you can go for JSOM. update multiple items and finally call context.executeQuery() – Atish Dipongkor Oct 18 '16 at 7:01

I don't think it is possible without loop, at least based on the provided List and List Items REST API Reference (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn531433.aspx).
