Splunk Rest API response in JSON format

Hi Community,

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?

Regards,

Eshwar

Inorder to get the response in json you want to add ?output_mode=json at the end of your rest api call url.
Or you can add it as part of the payload.

Try specifying output_mode=json.  See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.1.3/RESTUM/RESTusing#Encoding_schemes

Hi @richgalloway ,

We had tried giving the output_mode parameter for Rest point but still we can see xml  response.
