Getting Data In

Need to export Splunk data (our application logs) to CSV using API

Our application has over 3 million records every 24 hours that we need to export using Splunk. When we tried using Reports, we were getting a maximum of 50000 records. We were suggested to use Splunk API. Can anyone help on step to step on how to connect to Splunk API. Is it a URL or something? I have no clue..

If don't want to use SDK's, here is how you can export data by calling REST API endpoint for search:
