Course Overview

The Developing with Splunk's REST API 8.2 course by Splunk is designed for application developers, DevOps engineers, and Splunk administrators who need to automate interactions with Splunk Enterprise using programmatic methods. While no direct certification exam is tied exclusively to this course, it supports mastery of the skills required for the Splunk Certified Developer path. Professionals in roles such as data integration specialists and security automation engineers benefit from learning how to manage Splunk resources via APIs. With over 17,000 customers globally—including 92 of the Fortune 100—Splunk adoption continues to grow, increasing demand for developers skilled in its REST API for custom tooling and integrations.

This course covers key Splunk technologies including the Splunk REST API, HTTP Event Collector (HEC), Key-Value Store (KV Store), administration endpoints, search job management, and namespace access control. Students engage in hands-on labs using curl and Python scripts to send authenticated requests, parse JSON responses, and perform CRUD operations on Splunk objects. The lab environment simulates real-world Splunk Enterprise instances where learners configure HEC tokens to ingest machine data, create saved searches, manage user permissions via REST calls, and store application data in KV Store collections. One key project involves building a Python-based monitoring script that automates health checks across multiple Splunk instances using REST API endpoints.

By completing Developing with Splunk's REST API 8.2, learners gain practical skills aligned with Splunk’s developer certification track, recognized across industries for building scalable, automated data solutions. According to industry reports, Splunk-certified professionals earn average salaries between $95,000 and $130,000 annually, depending on role and experience.
