Yes, you can create searches using the REST API in Splunk Cloud. Here are the basic steps:

  1. Get a Session Key: Authenticate with Splunk to get a session key.
  2. Create a Search Job: Use the /services/search/jobs endpoint to create a search job. You’ll need to send a POST request with your search query in the body.
  3. Check Search Status: Use the search ID (sid) returned from the previous step to check the status of your search job.

Here’s a simple example using curl:

curl -k -u username:password https://<splunk-cloud-url>/services/search/jobs -d search="search index=_internal | head 10"

This command will create a search job that retrieves the first 10 events from the _internal index.
