how can i get guids of all the assests we have scanned in microsoft purview through api

Question

we have scanned multiple assets in Microsoft purview from different sources(azure_services,databricks table) now i want all those assets in a table (in databricks) to analyze my resources and cost management, I need a API that gives me a list of guid of that entity/assets that are scanned  but every time we call API's we only get guid of built-in entities, not that which we have scanned.

Hello Vivek Vijay Patil,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

To retrieve a list of GUIDs for the scanned assets in Microsoft Purview, you can utilize the REST API. The below Techlink documents have the details on how to use the REST API in Python.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
