Hi

I was looking for an endpoint to be able to get amount of available Events in "Splunk/App Search & Reporting/What to Search"
I would also appreciate endpoint to be able to get this kind of info provided clicking over "Data Summary" button and filling filter.

Please see attached file to more details. I was looking for a REST API endpoint which provided me 1703436 number, I know this is "real time", but interested in any case 🙂

Thanks a lot for your attention

It's not exactly what I asked, due to it's not a direct approach using REST API. But I've discovered I can use search "eventcount", which it's number of total indexed events.
