SharePoint REST API to retrieve ACLs of a SharePoint object

Hi,

We have a requirement to retrieve Access Control List details of a particular SharePoint object(site, list or list item). We came across an article which talks about SharePoint RoleDefinitions and RoleAssignments which control the user access to SharePoint objects. We also found another article which has details of the REST APIs to retrieve Role Assignments and Role Definitions. We tried retrieving Role Assignments for a Site using 

GET <Site_URL>/_api/web/roleassignments?$expand=Member/users,RoleDefinitionBindings

REST API. The response contains the SharePoint Groups and Users and their RoleDefinitionBindings.

We wanted to know if there is any other way to retrieve Access Control List details of a SharePoint object using REST API?

Any leads will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brajmohan Singh

    Retrieve Role Assignments for a list: 

    /_api/web/lists/getbytitle('list title')/roleassignments?$expand=Member/users,RoleDefinitionBindings

    Retrieve Role Assignments for a listitem: 

    /_api/web/lists/getbytitle('list title')/items(id)/roleassignments?$expand=Member/users,RoleDefinitionBindings

    Check if site/list/listitem has a unique permission: 

    /_api/web/HasUniqueRoleAssignments  
/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('list title')/HasUniqueRoleAssignments  
/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('list title')/items(id)/HasUniqueRoleAssignments
