Azure DevOps rest api - Get work item by custom field

Question

Hi!

We are currently migrating from tfs 2015 to Azure DevOps, and we would like to use the REST Api services to get work items. In TFS were an option to include custom fields as filter in the http query to list work items, (e.g. there are many work items with custom field 'otherId', i want to list all the work items which otherId field value equals to 5) but in the Azure Devops api documentation i cannot find description about how to do this.

If it is possible, could you give me an example?
