I am currently using a python API call to retrieve data from Splunk. I am getting approximately 1 day of data when the argument passed is for 30 days or more or lower of the data shown in the Splunk console. Can someone help?

Hi @bekeran 

Hope you must be using search/jobs API to query the splunk and get the results. Default is 10K , if you want to retrieve more than that set max_count to desired value. 30 days is huge for API to process depends of number of events you have in Splunk.
