I am looking to retrieve all parent entitlements for an Active Directory group / entitlement. I tried the Search endpoint (/v3/Search) with “indices” = “entitlements” and with and without “includeNested” specified This is what the parent entitlements tab on an entitlement look like in the UI. These are the entitlements I’m looking to retrevive > **[2021-06-09\_09-31-32.png](https://www.screencast.com/t/URR41VUvt4a3)** > > Shared from Screencast.com ---

Hi @blanghals, Our beta and v3 APIs don’t support entitlements at this time. I also checked our search documentation regarding entitlements and I could not find a way to get parents from search. I inspected my browser to see what IDN uses to get parents, and found that it uses the following: `https://{tenant}.api.identitynow.com/ears/entitlements-v3/entitlements/{entitlementId}/parents` Please give that a try, and if it works, please mark this answer as the solution. Thank you, Colin McKibben ---

@colin_mckibben I am able to use the /ears/entitlements-v3/entitlements API call to get the source entitlements, but only if I use the BEARER token that I capture from the chrome inspect network preview. If I use the Postman generated token(using client id and client secret) like I do for the V3 and beta API calls, I get a 404 error, and “error”: “Unable to route request”. I’ve tried using the Personal Access Token, and also the Security Settings API management settings. Does that API call require something else? Thanks, Chris ---

@colin_mckibben I’ve been able to use a different API call to get the entitlements: `https://{{TENANT}}.api.identitynow.com/cc/api/entitlement/list?limit=500&count=true&CISApplicationId={{sourceID}}` Only thing with this, it doesn’t seem to support the normal offset parameter. It does support the limit parameter, but when I use offset, it doesn’t do anything different. Is there any other parameter that I can use to ‘page’ through the results? One of our sources has 34k entitlements! Thanks, Chris ---

Try using the `start` and `limit` query params. For example, `?limit=500&start=0` should get you the first 500 results, and `?limit=500&start=1` should get you the next page of 500 results. ---

I was just informed that `/ears` can only be called from the Org Portal or UI generated tokens, so you can’t use PATs or OAuth2 to call `/ears`. If `https://{{TENANT}}.api.identitynow.com/cc/api/entitlement/list?limit=500&count=true&CISApplicationId={{sourceID}}` gets you the information you need, then I would stick with that for now. FYI, engineering is working on CRUD endpoints for entitlements to be released this year. ---

@colin_mckibben Thanks, the start did it! In other API calls, offset is used, so thats what I tried. ---

Update to this thread. There are now beta endpoints for [getting parent entitlements](https://developer.sailpoint.com/idn/api/beta/list-entitlement-parents). ---
