How to determine if a user is member of a group in one API call?

Seems to be 2 approaches. Get the list of the users from the group (not good for a list of thousands). Get the list of group from the user. Not bad but it would be nice if https://my-domain.okta.com/api/v1/users/isaac.brock%40exmple.com/groups/myGroupName was supported. An empty object would indicate not a member while an array of 1 would indicate membership. That way I wouldn't have to look through the list myself. Not a huge effort of course, but would be nice to have the server whittle the list for me.

Anyone have a different technique or other info?

As mentioned by the asker of the question, the question has been answered by Raphael Londner on Stack Overflow. I am pasting the answer below:

"Unfortunately you cannot as the Okta API does not currently offer an isMemberOfGroup method. You'll have to use either of the 2 APIs you mentioned in your question, whichever is the most efficient in your specific case."

Would really like to see Okta add this feature-- seems like a basic thing that would be used quite often.
