Splunk Rest API response in JSON format

Hi experts,

We are in the process of sending the alerts from Splunk to another application via REST API but response of the REST API is displaying in XML format as our other application would have expect  JSON format however we tried using Postman application as well but the response is same in XML so can any one suggest  JSON response REST API to get the alert details?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Eshwar

Hi @Eshwar,

You can add "output_mode=json" parameter to get json output. Please see below;

curl -k -u admin:password https://localhost:8089/services/search/jobs/export -d search="search sourcetype=splunkd earliest=-1h" -d output_mode=json

Hi @scelikok ,

I tried with output_mode=json but not able to get JSON response as my REST end point is for fired alerts as below.

https://localhost:8089/services/alerts/fired_alerts
