Java SDK Service.getJobs.create with token throws 401 Unauthorized error

I have a token instead of a username and password for connecting to Splunk. When connecting, I am able to authenticate just fine. However, when performing a query I get a 401 unauthorized. The token was set up for the HTTP Event Collector (HEC), so that may be why I can't perform the search directly on the instance.

loginArgs.setToken("xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx");
loginArgs.setHost("dev.splunk.domain.com");
loginArgs.setPort(443);
 HttpService.setSslSecurityProtocol(SSLSecurityProtocol.TLSv1_1);
 Service service = Service.connect(loginArgs);
 System.out.println(service);

 String mySearch = "search index=app_name starttime=\"05/01/2019:15:58:00\" endtime=\"05/15/2019:15:59:50\" | head 5";
 Job job = service.getJobs().create(mySearch);

Below is part of the stack trace.

Question: Is the same token used for HEC and typical Splunk authentication?
