How to get the search query from a search sid using restful API?

I have a search SID, and currently I am getting its result using the API api/search/jobs/<sid>/results

However, I also need to access the search query string behind this search result.  Is there an API for getting that?

Hi @patng_nw 

Use below spl query and add necessary sid then request.search will provide the required search query string

| rest /services/search/jobs/<sid>| table sid title eai:acl.app eai:acl.owner request.search
