How to create authentication token and then use it to call Splunk Cloud REST API endpoints?

Hi,

From java service I want to call Splunk Cloud REST API endpoints.
I need help in how to create authentication token for splunk cloud and then pass that token while calling search endpoints to execute the query and get the results back.

When logging into my <org-name>.splunkcloud.com in browser it is done via SSO.

Can anybody please provide sample curl which I can use, I went through documentation, but I didn't get much, I'm new to this, any help is highly appreciated.

You can find out about how to create and use authentication tokens in the Securing Splunk Cloud Platform manual.

@richgalloway
On each Splunk cloud REST API call from java service I want to create authentication token in the java service itself and use it for the splunk cloud search api.
So I need how to create authentication token like which endpoint I need to call for this and what all parameters are required to create auth JWT token, if you have a curl and you can share that would be very helpful.

That information is in the same manual.
