Splunk API Output Fields

Hello All, when I am using the Splunk API I am getting different fields as compared to the Splunk UI. How can we get similar results (fields) as we are able to get from Splunk UI. I have tried the "rf" attribute also but no luck.

This is the call:

curl -k -u u:p https://splunk:8089/servicesNS/admin/search/search/jobs/export --data-urlencode search="search index=node message="j-report" appId=\"static--logger\" items.data.f_id != \"\" OR items.inst_id!= \"\" earliest=03/30/2020:0:0:0 latest=03/31/2020:0:0:0" -d rf=* -d output_mode=csv -o test.csv

Some More Details:

When I am outputting the search from Splunk UI I am getting following fields:

app,appId,
correlationId,
eventtype,
host,
index,
items.
access_type,
items.article_id,
items.data.fed_id,
items.eventType,
items.fed_id,
items.institution_id,
items.journal_id,
items.logLevel,
items.referer_url,
items.request_date,
items.request_method,
items.resource_type,
items.session_id,
items.status_code,
items.time,
items.url,
items.userIp,
items.user_agent,

items.user_name,

_raw

I would greatly appreciate how to mimic the Splunk UI output with Splunk API. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
