REST api code failing.

MK3 — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 14:13:28 GMT

Hello,

I ran the following code -

from __future__ import print_function import urllib.request, urllib.parse, urllib.error import httplib2 from xml.dom import minidom baseurl = '<url>' userName = '<username>' password = '<password>' searchQuery = <query> # Authenticate with server. # Disable SSL cert validation. Splunk certs are self-signed. serverContent = httplib2.Http(disable_ssl_certificate_validation=True).request(baseurl + '/services/auth/login', 'POST', headers={}, body=urllib.parse.urlencode({'username':userName, 'password':password}))[1] sessionKey = minidom.parseString(serverContent).getElementsByTagName('sessionKey')[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue # Remove leading and trailing whitespace from the search searchQuery = searchQuery.strip() # If the query doesn't already start with the 'search' operator or another # generating command (e.g. "| inputcsv"), then prepend "search " to it. if not (searchQuery.startswith('search') or searchQuery.startswith("|")): searchQuery = 'search ' + searchQuery print(searchQuery) # Run the search. # Again, disable SSL cert validation. print(httplib2.Http(disable_ssl_certificate_validation=True).request(baseurl + '/services/search/jobs','POST', headers={'Authorization': 'Splunk %s' % sessionKey},body=urllib.parse.urlencode({'search': searchQuery}))[1])

I get this error - "TimeoutError: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond"

Is my url format wrong?

Thanks

Hard to say without knowing your base url. The error 10060 means your code can't connect to the destination server. Either you specified a wrong machine to connect to or you're having some network issues. Can you connect manually to the API endpoint from the host you're running your code on?
