Getting Data In

How come our API results are only returning the first 100 results for metadata?

I'm trying to get the number of hosts reporting to Splunk via API, but the a normal curl -k is only able to return 100 results.

I tried adding the "count=0" parameter, but it just gives me 100 and cannot go further.

My search strings below.

curl -u user:passwd -k https://XXXX:8089/services/search/jobs -d search="metadata%20type%3Dhosts"
url -u user:passwd -k https://XXXX:8089/services/search/jobs/md_1551723351.24391/results?output_mode=csv&count=0

Any help is appreciated

This is how I got mine to work, not sure the difference between mine and yours, but this worked for me
curl -k -u 'username:password' "https://api.company.com:443/services/search/jobs/$sidkey/results?count=0&output_mode=csv"

my sidkey is just the sid within a variable , change it to a valid sid
