Getting Data In

How to get data from App that offers REST API

Hello Team, 
I have to collect and import data into Splunk, provided by a REST API.
How would it be possible to do?

Scenario:
As soon as I receive a notification that data is ready I need to execute the REST call to get the data.
Data is in json format and these data have to end up in Splunk.

Do I need to implement something custom, to save the response into a file for Splunk Fw to read? 
or does Splunk offer something that works out of the box?

Thank you in advance, 
chtamp

Hi @chtamp 

You can try this modinput - REST API Modular Input | Splunkbase

Otherwise you have to write custom logic to get notified by App and initiate querying the REST API and ingest to Splunk via HEC token with acknowledgement mode enabled.
