Get started
If you are logged into the same machine as your Splunk instance and have wget installed, you can copy and paste the following command into your terminal:
wget -O - -q --no-check-certificate https://localhost:8089/services/
The -O - tells wget you want the response sent to standard output. The --no-check-certificate tells wget that you want it to ignore critical certificate error, which you'll have if you don't have a valid certificate.
You should see an XML formatted ATOM response returned:
root@foobar [~]# wget -O - -q --no-check-certificate https://localhost:8089/services/

Note: In versions 3.1.x and earlier, Splunk's REST endpoints were served off the SplunkWeb process using the http://yourhost:8000/v3/ URL format. If you are coding against an older version of Splunk, you will need to reference the older documentation for the deprecated /v3/ endpoints. You can't use a /v3 auth token with the /services endpoints.
This documentation applies to the following versions of Splunk: 3.2.3 , 3.2.4 , 3.2.5 , 3.2.6 View the Article History for its revisions.
