How can I get jira Screen details through API?

Question

I need to get all details of the screen present in my Jira setup, either it is mapped to a project or via field, I need screen Details/screen ID.

Could not find any API to get that, not even an API that is even nearer to screen Id.

Any Suggestion on how to get Screen Id will be appreciated.

The REST API does not support that.  You should use the meta-data fetch if you want to know what is available.

I am looking for some solution to get Screen ID or screen details for my setup.

I need to show all the screen present in the system and then need to get all the field attached to it

You don't want the screens, they only contain 1/3rd of the config that could affect how an issue handles its fields.

Grab the field metadata instead - this will give you the full list of things you can set on an issue.  See https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-example-discovering-meta-data-for-creating-issues-6291669/
