How to use REST API in Splunk?

rendie — Fri, 15 Jan 2021 12:22:48 GMT

Hello,

I have a little trouble with using REST API in Splunk via curl and postman.

I have my own Splunk application with a python script which is available by link http://splunk:8000/en-US/splunkd/__raw/services/appname/pyscript.
And I wanna get access to this file via PostMan or Curl. In the first step, I created sessionsKey - successful.

But when I want to use this key in the header "Authorization: Splunk <key>" via POST/GET then via curl I see "303 see other", and via postman - "Splunk relies on JavaScript to function properly. Please enable JavaScript and then refresh the page to login."

Where I wrong?

Hi,

Alas, I did not find the correct solution for this problem. I got around the problem by using cookies in requests.

1. Made a login through the browser
2. Got the cookie and used it in Python script

Alas, this is the only way that worked for me.
