While using splunk Rest api getting 404 error in authentication

[test_accenture]

to do Splunk search with the help of API I am getting 404 error while doing this call

response = self.session.get(self.base_url + '/servicesNS/'+self.username+'/search/auth/login', data=payload)

can someone please tell me why this is happening?

Firstly, I'm not sure if you can call the auth/login in such namespace.

The API reference says only about

https://<host>:<mPort>/services/auth/login

But more importantly, the auth/login endpoint only supports POST requests. You don't GET from it.

if I am trying this query with a post request I am getting unauthorized 401 error

Are you sending proper authentication data? https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.4/RESTREF/RESTaccess#auth.2Flogin

[test_accenture]

do you mean my creds?

[PickleRick]

Yes. As shown in the examples in docs.

Oh, and does your user have the role/capability to use API?

Are you able to get a response when you hit this as a plain curl request?
