Hi,

You can use the /api/runtime/process-instances REST service for this purpose.
This REST service is documented here:

Check the docs: https://docs.alfresco.com/activiti/docs/dev-guide/1.4.0/#_activiti_engine_rest_api :

"For example: fetching process definitions is described in the Activiti User Guide as an HTTP GET on repository/process-definitions. This maps to <your-server-and-context-root>/api/repository/process-definitions."
