Minimum Capbilities required for REST search/jobs/export endpoint

I have a custom role which has limited capabilities, including 

  • rest_apps_view
  • rest_properties_get
  • search

The role needs to run the following search via the REST API and write the ouptut to a text file on the originating server.

| inputlookup xxx.csv | eval HASH=sha256(<FIELD B>+<FIELD C>) | table <FIELD A>, HASH

I have created a user with the relevant role, and created a token for use in the curl request.

If I run the above search in the UI it works fine, when I run the curl I get a FATAL response message - empty search.

The curl I am using is:

curl -k -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"  https://mysearchead.com:8089/servicesNS/<user>/<app>/search/jobs/export -d search='<my search>' -d output_mode=csv > output.csv

So, my question is, which Splunk capabilities are required to be enabled for my custom role to successfully make a REST API call to the search/jobs/export endpoint?
