It is similar to the question asked here but i am looking if there is any way to get the version information using the REST end points?

You can use the openstack client to get a list of API version supported by your cloud but I don't think that those are necessarily going to reveal what version of each service is running behind them.
Why would you want to know anyway? In theory, as an end user, all you should care about are the capabilities offered to you, not the implementation details behind the curtains.

I am writing script to get openstack version information and wanted to use the REST so that it can be executed from remote machine.

If you want to get the major version of the OpenStack (such as Kilo, Liberty), you can check the nova REST API for API version. The maximum version (called "version" in REST API) for Kilo is 2.3, for Liberty is 2.12, for Mitaka is 2.25 .
