How to index data using Rest API in splunk?

[kiran331]

HI I have a below curl command, What is the best way to ingest data into Splunk?

curl -u "abc:123" -H "X-Requested-With: Curl" -X "POST" -d "action=list&show_attributes=ALL" "https://qualysapi.qualys.com/api/2.0/fo/asset/group/"

"Best" depends on many factors, but potential solutions could be:

1. Append the results to a file monitored by a [monitor:///] stanza (and handle log rotation, etc)
2. Create a modulear input that fetches that URL and indexes the results
3. Scripted input
