You should not do this. The APIs are intended to be stateless. They are not built to support maintaining state across calls.

Is there any other way to achieve like this ?

When you use rest calls, the application is usually the client and the application state is then held in the browser. The other option is to store only a key in the application and the rest of the information in the database.
Even if you find a momentary way around this, e.g. by using a cache or singleton + hash, believe me, it probably will bite you later on.
