Using the rest /3 api can I get the issues from parent issue?

[Mansi Gusain]

Hi suppose I have an issue - MG-662 of type epic then is there an api to get the child issues in this epic? using the rest version 3 api only ?

The Jira Cloud platform REST API

Yes, there is a dedicated endpoint: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/software/rest/api-group-epic/#api-rest-agile-1-0-epic-epicidorkey-issue-get

Note that this is endpoint if part of the Jira Software REST API as "epic" is a software-specific concept.

You can use the issue search API resource to find issues using JQL. Refer to the documentation for more details.

To search for child issues, you can use the following JQL:

parent = MG-662

As a result, your API request might look like this:
