Hi @Kiran Pampati 

To get metadata options on what is possible with a field you the api to call an issue which uses custom fields (filled or not), they just need to be on the screen used by the issue.

example: https://<site-name>.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/IT-19/editmeta

Hello and welcome to Atlassian Community @Kiran Pampati 

Probably for your use case, the best will be GET /rest/api/3/field/search?type=custom

It requires Jira access and the relevant API scopes, for example read:jira-work or granular field-read scopes.

Look under Section "Get Fields Paginated"

Best,
