orgSubtype field available in entity search, but not in lookup

When I perform an entity search via the API and there are organization matches, they include an orgSubtype field -- ex:

 {
          "@id": "https:\/\/permid.org\/1-4298149013",
          "organizationName": "Canadian UNICEF Committee",
          "orgSubtype": "Foundation\/Charity",
          "hasURL": "https:\/\/www.unicef.ca"
 },

However, this data does not appear to available when looking up the PermID directly -- either via the API or on the website. Is this correct? Is there any way to obtain the orgSubType without doing an artificial entity search to hit on a PermID we already have?

    I got an update from the Open PermID support team.

    As per analysis “orgSubType” field is only made available for Entity search and not for Entity lookup/any other way in permid(via API or website permid.org).

    So ideally there is no other way to obtain this field except through entity search.
