Jenkins get list of builds and parameters

Question

I would like to make an API call to Jenkins to fetch a list of builds along with their parameters and status. We currently pass a git commit sha1 as a parameter to build a specific branch. Any ideas how I can get this information easily?

Combining @user1255162 's comment to an answer. I had to query set of builds and print its parameter for a report. Here is the code snippet in groovy

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper


def root = "<url to job>"
def options = "/api/json?tree=builds[actions[parameters[name,value]],result,building,number,duration,estimatedDuration]"

def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper()
def text = new URL("${root}/${options}").text
def data = jsonSlurper.parseText(text)

data["builds"].each { buildsdata ->
    def result = buildsdata["result"]
    def num = buildsdata["number"]
    print("${root}/${num}/parameters  |")
    buildsdata["actions"].each { actions ->
        if (actions["_class"].equals("hudson.model.ParametersAction")) {
            actions["parameters"].sort({it.name}).each { param ->
                    print("${param.name}=${param.value}|")
            }
        }
    }
    println("")
}
