Use Purview API to provide list of all Entities of a certain type

Question

I am trying to find an API for use with Purview, that will return all Entities of a certain Type (eg mssql_table); however I can't find one that works.

I tried using examples from the Apache Atlas API reference such a the Discovery DSL queries, but it returns an error that the API is no longer supported.

Any suggestions?
