How do I get machine name by entity type and its ID?

The code I am using is the following.

$block = \Drupal\block_content\Entity\BlockContent::load(2);
$render = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->
getViewBuilder('block_content')->view($block);

To get the type and id of a given entity, you can do:

$type = $entity->bundle();
$id = $entity->id();

Some entities, like Node, provide wrapper methods to return the bundle:

$type = $node->getType();

But Block doesn't. So if it is Block that you are after:

$block = \Drupal\block_content\Entity\BlockContent::load(2);
$type = $block->bundle();
$id = $block->id();
