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,

Arkadiusz 🤠
