True or False: Using REST calls, data can only be sent to Splunk via push.

Using REST calls to interact with Splunk allows for more flexibility than just pushing data. While it is true that one common use of REST APIs is to push data to a Splunk instance, REST also enables the retrieval of data (pulling), managing configurations, and executing searches. The framework allows for both sending data to Splunk (push) and making requests to retrieve information (pull), facilitating a more interactive and responsive way to integrate with Splunk. This bidirectional communication demonstrates the power of RESTful APIs in managing data flow effectively in Splunk environments.

Rest APIs are designed to accommodate various operations beyond simple data consumption, thus confirming that data interaction can happen in more than one direction, making the statement that data can only be sent via push inaccurate. This comprehensive functionality is essential for developers and administrators working within the Splunk ecosystem.
