I am working on speech-to-text application which is based on Java. In which I need to create a JIRA ticket in a particular board. For this I have only board name available as a input. So what I am looking for is there any JIRA rest-api available through which I can fetch that particular board and can create a JIRA ticket in it if not is there any work-around so that I can create ticket in that particular board, which user is expecting.

You can use get all boards resource to fetch all boards on the instance and filter the one you need by name. However, it's not possible to easily "create a ticket in a particular board". You can create an issue in a project, assigned to an epic but not to the board. Boards in Jira are based on JQL query (the basic boards are project boards, with JQL for a single project), but the issues that will appear on a board are dependent on the JQL query, so to create an issue in a particular board you need to create this issue in such a way that it will match the JQL query this board is assigned to (can be any JQL query user write). For example, if a user creates a board based on JQL: "component = ABC" then the issue you need to create needs a component value set to "ABC", otherwise it will not appear on the board. Supporting all possible options and configurations of JQL is very hard and time-consuming, I suggest you support only project based boards, then you can use get projects of board resource to find the project (should be only one) assigned to the board (you already have the ID of board from get all boards resource) and simply create an issue in that project (it should appear on a board).
