How to query against Splunk API a saved search without the search Id?

[Mathanjey]

Can someone suggest how to query against Splunk API for a saved search without the Search Id? Basically we have a requirement to make a call against Splunk API (REST) for a saved search and get results.

You did not describe what your IDE or language are but Splunk SDK dox are here:

If you want to do it via the REST API - then take a look at these two tutorials:
http://dev.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAADQ5
http://dev.splunk.com/view/saved-searches-and-alerting/SP-CAAADRK

REST API reference docs for saved searches are here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.2/RESTREF/RESTsearch#saved.2Fsearches.2F.7Bname.7D.2...

You call dispatch for the search you care about and then you should be off and running.

Did you try this?

You can first list all your saved Searches like this

| rest services/search/jobs | search isSavedSearch=1 | stats count by label

then you can specifically interrogate them if needed

| rest services/search/jobs | search label="my special saved search"

I have a saved search and wanted to invoke the saved search via rest api and get results from the api.

Are you OK now?

So you want to run the saved search or want to get information about the saved search (and what information if yes)?
