Why do I instruct curl to look for data at my localhost eventhoug I pushed the data to splunk cloud?

[souvikutor]

I am using Splunk Cloud Trial version and I am trying out the curl to access REST APIs.However any data I need, I need to provide localhost rather than my splunk cloud url.Why is that?

I tried giving my credentials for the Splunk cloud along with my splunk account url but I get the message "resource moved".However it works just fine when I use localhost with my admin credentials.

Try putting an input- infront of your instance name..
