How to troubleshoot why users get 404 not found error when querying the REST endpoints?
One of our clients is trying to use REST API services. He is working on a Web/mobile team which is considering an innovation project involving a Splunk integration. Basically, better tracking/early notification of errors so that we can prevent them. We’re attempting to work with the Splunk API, but we can’t seem to connect to the documented endpoints.
All we know from him is that he is getting 404 errors. How to troubleshoot and to rectify this?
thanks in advance.

Koushik;
Have you checked to make sure that the users who are trying to use the REST endpoints are part of a role that contains the 'REST_' related capabilities?

Even after you added the REST related capabilities to his user role?
Did you include port 8089 in the url? (the example you gave is missing the port)

You need to specify the port since the RESTful services are not on the default web port.

I dont believe power has the rest capabilities by default. You may want to create a new role called 'user_with_rest' which extends the 'user' role, and just adds the rest capabilities.
This way you are not granting the person more rights than necessary.
