How to configure Splunk for REST API input? Currently in "Data inputs" I cannot see REST API input type.

What, exactly, are you wanting to do?

Are you wanting Splunk to accept HTTPS connections, and provide a REST endpoint where something can POST data?

Splunk does that without any setup required. See here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.3/RESTREF/RESTinput#receivers.2Fstream
There is also this: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1901/

If you want Splunk to reach out and query some REST api, and then index the response, take a look at this:

"REST API Modular Input" is not yet certified for Splunk Cloud 😞
Is there a way to do it in Splunk Cloud ?
