Is it possible to get other player's character's inventory?

We would like to fetch other player's character's inventory, so a player can view what loadout other players are using (similar to how it works in Destiny 2 for example). The only API calls I've found regarding this are:

https://blog.playfab.com/documentation/client/method/GetUserInventory (this only seems to return the inventory for the logged in user)

https://blog.playfab.com/documentation/client/method/GetCharacterInventory (this only seems to work for characters which are owned by the logged in player)

You can view other player’s character’s inventory via Cloud Script by calling the Server API. Client/GetCharacterInventory is designed for a player to query the inventory of the characters belonging to his/her player account. If you want to get the character for an arbitrary player in the service, you would need to use the Server API call.

Please refer to; https://api.playfab.com/documentation/server/method/GetCharacterInventory
