1. Use "/rest/api/2/field" this end point and search word rank. Here it will give description of each and every custom field (Ex: customfield_10114)

2. Use  "/rest/agile/1.0/issue/" end point to search the field from Step 1 (Ex: customfield_10114). So the value to this field would be the rank.

* Using Chrome, navigate to the backlog where you can drag and drop issues to change rank.
* Right click in the back of the Jira page and select "Inspect"
* A window/pane will open.  Click on the Network Tab
* Now back into Jira change the ranking of an issue using drag and drop.
* If you look on the network tab, a PUT request named "rank" will show up
* Select it and look at the Payload.
* The rankCustomFieldId is described.
