How can I check current JIRA story transition through rest API?

Question

I am trying to setup a task to monitor list of jira stories, check if the transition story changed to with rest api. something like polling for every minute to check if JIRA ticket has been approved or not. I can get available transitions for a story which can change to rest/api/2/issue//transitions but I am looking for current status transition Id. How I can get it? any help would be appreciated.Thanks!

/rest/api/2/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/?fields=status

gives you the info about the current status for an issue.

The response looks like this

{
  "expand":"renderedFields,names,schema,operations,editmeta,changelog,versionedRepresentations",
  "id":"99769",
  "self":"https://yourjira.com/rest/api/latest/issue/99769",
  "key":"PT-1939",
  "fields":{
      "status":{
          "self":"https://yourjira.com/rest/api/2/status/5",
          "description":"A resolution has been taken, and it is awaiting verification by reporter. From here issues are either reopened, or are closed.",
          "iconUrl":"https://yourjira.com/images/icons/statuses/resolved.png",
          "name":"Pruebas Integración",
          "id":"5",
          "statusCategory":{
               "self":"https://yourjira.com/rest/api/2/statuscategory/3",
               "id":3,
               "key":"done",
               "colorName":"green",
               "name":"Listo"
          }
      }
  }
}
