How can I create a search via the REST API in a specific app?

[ericturpin]

I am trying to perform a search to modify a lookup csv via the REST API.

The simple search
|inputlookup filename.csv

when performed via the Web UI the URL for the search would be
https://mysplunk.com/en-US/app/custom_app_name/search?q=%7Cinputlookup%filename.csv

However, I cannot figure out how to target custom_app_name when creating a search via the API. In the past I've created searches against the search app with a POST request to the URL
https://mysplunk.com:8089/services/search/jobs?output_mode=json

Can anyone help me understand what the base URL should look like for interacting with searches performed against custom_app_name?

Thanks!

I tried the solution suggested by @somesoni2 and didn't have any success. But the term namespace in my searching helped me find the solution here: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/316/rest-api-with-namespace.html#answer-323

So my POST should go to

https://mysplunk.com:8089/servicesNS/MY_USERNAME/custom_app_name/search/jobs

I believe you need to pass namespace request parameters in your POST job. The base URL should stay the same.

Name    namespace   
Type    String
