"Page not found" when trying to search through REST API

dzkashlach — Fri, 30 Jul 2021 10:00:05 GMT

Hello everyone!

I receive "Page not found" message when I try to search using REST API.

My URL: [splunkhost]/en-US/services/search/jobs%20-d%20search="search%20index=enwiki""

Even such very common search gives nothing, although there is index=enwiki in system and I'm able to

search in it through webui.

I was using https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.1/RESTTUT/RESTsearches

as a reference.

What should I check?

The examples in that document are for the command-line interface and won't work in a web browser. When converting the examples for use in a browser, the part following "-d" goes in the body of a POST request.

Ok, thanks for tip.

One more moment:

curl -v -k --cookie "session_id_8080=session-id-value" http://host:port/en-US/services/search/jobs -d search="search *"

this one also gives me Page not found, although I'm taking cookie from valid session.

I guess, I'm missing something in path ?
