Is there a way to get the list of all counties that are part of an MSA/CBSA?

According to this hierarchy, I don't see an obvious way: https://www.census.gov/newsroom/blogs/random-samplings/2014/07/understanding-geographic-relationships-counties-places-tracts-and-more.html

I tried this:

https://api.census.gov/data/2015/acs/acs5?get=NAME&for=county:*&in=metropolitan+statistical+area/micropolitan+statistical+area:27260

But got this error:

error: unknown/unsupported geography heirarchy

Is there any other way of getting this info?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I was looking for an API. In the absence of such an API, I can work with the excel files. Thank you. – Silent User Jun 29 '19 at 06:58
