How can I use [this](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-load-dataset.html#_load_the_data_sets) in Elastic Cloud? ---

It's no different, just provide a username and password for the cluster and then change the URL. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-security.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-security.html) for more details on authentication. ---

And whats the URL then? And where/how can I provide the username+password? How does this call know where my data is located... ---

If you are not familiar with `curl`, then `-u username:password` is the flag. You may also want to consult the manual for it. > [@sebastiaanspeck](#): > > How does this call know where my data is located... That is what the `--data-binary @accounts.json` means, it's referring to a file called `accounts.json`. ---

> [@warkolm](#): > > That is what the `--data-binary @accounts.json` means, it's referring to a file called `accounts.json` . Yes, but how can the Elastic Cloud API Console know where I have the file locally on my machine? ---

It doesn't, you need to use curl to send it. ---
