Get Request to Retrieve List of IDs in a Given Recommendations Environment

I was wondering if Adobe had any future development plans to allow a client to request a list of IDs that are currently setup in a given recommendations environment.  Right now, I feel like only 2 of the 3 pieces exist to effectively manage entities.  I can use the GET entities to retrieve an entity, and I can use DELETE to delete an entity.  But, there doesn't seem to be a mechanism to simply get a list of ids that are present in the environment.  If this capability existed, one could theoretically download the list of ids and easily do the equivalent of a full join operation (against internal systems) and easily determine if any entities were missing (and then post with a SAVE request) and entities that were obsolete (and then remove with a DELETE request).

@JJS1 Through recommendations API you can fetch the list of entities for an environment:

 

https://mc.adobe.io/{tenantId}/target/recs/entities/{id}

If you pass the 'Environment ID' in the path parameters, then only the entities from that environment would be returned.

 

 

Documentation: http://developers.adobetarget.com/api/recommendations/#operation/getEntity

 

Let me know if this helps?

@karandhawan - Sorry - had not been monitoring this discussion, but I don't think the solve you listed above works.  The API reference document appears to require an actual entity id - not an environment id ... so a standard API request would look something like this:

https://mc.adobe.io/{tenantId}/target/recs/entities/11174589_1340?environmentId=41245

If I just substitute our environment ID for the {id} parameter, it just results in a 404 error.

@Amelia_Waliany - Any thoughts here?  Is this something that is in some kind of a work queue or do you consider this solved?  If @karandhawan solution works in our environment, I'd appreciate understanding what I am doing incorrectly.  I've tried both:

https://mc.adobe.io/{tenantId}/target/recs/entities/41245

and

https://mc.adobe.io/{tenantId}/target/recs/entities/environment=41245

 

and both just yield 404 errors.
