Hi,
Is there any way I can get the kvstore data in csv format by using the REST API command via curl?

Following is the curl command I am using but the output is coming in json format. I tried output_mode=csv, but it's giving an error.

curl -k -u <uname>:<pwd> https://<hostname>:8089/servicesNS/nobody/<appName>/storage/collections/data/<collectionName>;

Thanks in advance.

Use the search endpoints and inputlookup instead:

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.3.2/RESTREF/RESTsearch

The search job endpoint allows you to pull the data in csv format and the inputlookup search command allows you to pull the kvstore data.

Thanks, this helped me to resolve this.
So my final curl command came in as :

curl -k -u <uname>:<pwd>  https://<hotsname>:8089/servicesNS/admin/<appName>/search/jobs/export -d search="|inputlookup <kvstoreName>| table field1, field2, field3" -d output_mode=csv
