Scala Design Question - Unify 3 similar endpoints to retrieve from database

Question

I'm designing a Scala service which has 3 endpoints which are very similar - a. getUserByUserID(userIds: List[UserID]): List[User] b. getUserByEmployeeID(employeeIDs: List[EmployeeID]): List[User] c. getUserByDepartmentID(departmentIDs: List[DepartmentID]): List[User]

Think of User as a case class having many fields but 3 of them for the above endpoints are:

case class User(
  userId: UserID,
  employeeID: EmployeeID,
  departmentID: DepartmentID,
)

All these IDs are of type java.util.UUID.

All 3 endpoints return the User object as a list where the appropriate IDs match.

My concern is that there's a lot of repetitive work in this. Only difference is that the WHERE clause in the query changes to one of userID, employeeID, departmentID.

I want to minimize this duplication. Is Scala generics a way to do that?

I was thinking of creating a coordinator service that takes in any form of ID and returns the List[User] from it

so something like

endpoint1, endpoint2, endpoint3 -> call CoordinatorService --> call Database service

Coordinator service only has 1 method def getUserFromAnyID[A <: UUID](id: A): List[User]

and somehow match the generic A to ID to call appropriate database service. At a high level it would look like:

def getUserFromAnyID[A <: UUID](id: A): List[User] = {
  // A is a list
  A match {
    case Nil => List.empty()
    case someList =>
     // How to match the type of the object in someList?? It can be any of userId, employeeID, departmentID
     // After matching, it will call the database service:
     <type of list object> match {
        case userID: UserID => databaseService.getUsersByUserID(<pass list of userIds)
        case employeeIds: EmployeeID => databaseService.getUsersByEmployeeIDs(<pass list of employee IDs)
       .
       .
       .
     }  
  }
}

Is there an efficient pattern to achieve this?
