Splunk Search

How can I view Splunk results via GUI when job was started via API?

I have a problem where I need to use the Splunk API to return timechart graphs as an image, however as the API cannot do this I need to find another solution. I dont want to do down the route of using a local application to turn the returned data into a visualisation. I thought that a potential solution could involve starting the search via the API and obtaining the search/job id. The script would then login to the Splunk GUI instance and use the ID to find the search job and view the visualization as a human would. I could then screenshot the result solving the problem. However I dont see a way of taking a search ID and using it to get the visualization of that specific search. This is needed as part of a project that populates Jira tickets so using the SplunkJS framework would be a complex solution that I would like to avoid if possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

And why can't you use | loadjob?

It looks like a quite easy feat to do something like you're describing with - for example - selenium. Just log in, load the job, switch to visualization pane, get a screenshot.

But while you're at it, why not spawn the job from the selenium session anyway?
