For Example .
I need to execute the below API but I don’t know how to get the job_id using gitlab API.

Triggers a manual action to start a job.

You have a few options. You could look at all of the jobs in a given project with:
GET /projects/:id/jobs

Or a specific pipeline’s jobs with
GET /projects/:id/pipelines/:pipeline_id/jobs

Here is the documentation for the jobs API. Hope this helps!
