We have an external application, an API, which will send few parameters, and it needs to access Splunk API and get an entry into Splunk logs info. and extract the logs info.

Can anyone please help us on this? how it can be done ?

There is a ReST interface to Splunk which can be used, e.g. using curl, to send commands into Splunk to execute searches and retrieve events. There is also a HEC interface that you can send events into Splunk. Either or both of these might help you.

As @ITWhisperer said you could use Splunk REST-api. Here is some instructions and examples. https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/RESTTUT/RESTsearches

If you are sending events to splunk then HEC is a good choice.
