Splunk Cloud: How to ingest data using API?

[snigdhasaxena]

Is there a way to ingest data in Splunk using API (and without universal forwarder) if data is captured by native agent for source.
*Note this is for Splunk Cloud

The easiest way is to setup HTTP Event Collector:

You can definitely send data to Splunk Cloud via API. You will need to configure the HTTP Endpoint Collector: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/7.2.6/Data/UsetheHTTPEventCollector
