Splunklib API retrieve inputlookup

Hi all,

have been using the splunklib package in Python to connect to the Splunk API for some time now, and it works fine. As sample search I use is provided below:

searchquery = """search index=wineventlog EventCode=4688 earliest=-4h | fields user, ETC, ETC, ETC
| table user, ETC, ETC, ETC"""
resolveQuery = SplunkQuery(host, port, username, password)
df = resolveQuery.splunk_fetch(searchquery)

The search return a pandas dataframe (in Python) containing the required information.

When I try to retrieve an inputlookup however, the search doesn't return any information, only an empty dataframe.  Below is an example of a searchquery I use to try and retrieve an inputlookup:

searchquery = """search | inputlookup infomation.csv"""

Any help would be highly appreciated: how can I retrieve inputlookups using the Splunklib package in Python?

The inputlookup command is supposed to be the first command in a query.  Try this:

searchquery = """| inputlookup infomation.csv"""
