Easily enough, all you need is the Admins API endpoint. This will list all admins for whichever account you need to query (in this case just add the root account ID). GET /api/v1/accounts/:account_id/admins You can also pass the user_id[] parameter to the query string if you want to see if the user in question exists as an admin under that account. https://school.instructure.com/api/v1/accounts/self/admins?per_page=100

Edit: A PowerShell example to get AccountAdmins ONLY:
$res = invoke-restmethod "https://school.instructure.com/api/v1/accounts/self/admins?per_page=100" -method get -headers @{"Authorization" = "Bearer $auth"}
foreach ($r in $res) {
   if ($r.role -like "AccountAdmin") {
     $r
   }
}
