# Get current targets as resource IDs

Returns the current targets of a collection, configuration as an array of numeric resource IDs. The response format matches the input expected by the [modifyTargets](https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/help/api/cloud/deployment-fw-modify-targets-new.html) endpoint — making it easy to fetch, modify, and resubmit targets without format conversion. To use this format, pass `useResourceIdFormat=true` as a query parameter.
