How to get the JIRA workitems using REST api?

[kalyanasundaram s]

I could integrate Github, Jira and Jenkins. I could use smart commits which automatically translates into comments in the JIRA Issues. When I queue a build in Jenkins, the changeSet shows list of commits and each commit has the hyper link pointing to JIRA issues. I could navigate to JIRA issues from Jenkins Job.

However I don't see anything in the REST api. I guess the hyperlink is added in the background by the JIRA Plugin.

Is there a way I could get the list of associated JIRA issues for the Jenkins build using REST api?

Thanks,
