Need help with REST API & SDK

[splunkusr9]

We are using Splunk Cloud. How can I access REST API? Do I need to request to enable REST API?

HI @splunkusr9,

Have a look at these documents

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/7.2.0/User/WelcometoSplunkCloud

Splunk API  Disabled by default for managed Splunk Cloud deployments. Contact Splunk Support to enable access for managed Splunk Cloud deployments, Splunk Cloud trials, and sandboxes. 

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.2.1/RESTTUT/RESTandCloud

To access your Splunk Cloud deployment using the Splunk REST API and SDKs, submit a support case requesting access on the Support Portal. For managed deployments, Splunk Support opens port 8089 for REST access. You can specify a range of IP addresses to control who can access the REST API. For self-service deployments, Splunk Support defines a dedicated user and sends you credentials that enable that user to access the REST API.
