Hi,  
I'm trying to understand how to extract json file from Kibana using Elasticsearch API (same as **export everything** feature in the UI)  
I've read this tutorials:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/\_talking\_to\_elasticsearch.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_talking_to_elasticsearch.html)  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/python-api/current/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/python-api/current/index.html)  
[http://elasticsearch-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#cluster](http://elasticsearch-py.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#cluster)

But, i'm not sure how to get exactly what I need - the same json data structure (queries/ visualize & dashboards) and not my entire index pattern.  
Any idea?  
tnx
