Integration API to return list of categories based on search parameter

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When I query ProductMaster using

{{BASE_URL}}/mdm_rest/api/v1/integrations/hierarchies/Master Gene Hierarchy/categories?catalogName=Gene-Disease Catalog&categoryPKeys=HGNC:336,HGNC:23336

I get back a result like this:

}


My focus is on the entryInfoList element of this json, which is a list of 54 elements, each containing "primaryKey". Of these 54 elements, I am only interested in those with primaryKey that match those supplied in the url, which are HGNC:336,HGNC:23336.

My understanding was that since the API returns a list of 54 elements, there should be a way to filter them in the query itself. Does the API provide such mechanism? If this is not the correct endpoint to do this, what other solution can you suggest?
