How to fetch Azure Subscription / Resource Group details by passing only the (VM/SQL) Name

Question

I am looking for an implementation / suggestion or is there exist any REST API that will fetch me , the subscription or the resource group details just by passing the Server name.?
How can this be achieved?

An example : Virtual Machines - Get

But in this above API we are passing multiple parameters. Is there any workaround to pass only the Server name and fetch the Subscription and RG details.

You can use the generic Resource List endpoint and filter it by things like name and resource type without specifying resource group, but this will still require a subscription ID: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/resources/resources/list

If you needed to do this without a subscription ID, you would need to loop through the subscriptions available to that user and test each one to find the specific VM. I do understand that this might not be ideal in a case where a login has access to many subscriptions.
