Splunk SDKs

The Splunk SDK for Python and JavaScript abstracts the raw REST API into high-level objects. Instead of manually constructing HTTP requests, developers use methods like `service.jobs.create(query)` to run searches.

The Python SDK is commonly used for backend integrations and automation, while the JavaScript SDK powers custom web UIs and dashboard extensions.
