Cloud.elastic.co customer, need to perform REST search queries

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
I'm a user of Elastic and Kibana via the cloud.elastic.co service. I have an aggregation search query which works perfectly from the Kibana devtools console. I now need to perform this query via a REST HTTP call from another application. Which URL endpoint and API path would I use for this and what authentication method? I know how to get the URL endpoints from the portal for Elasticsearch and Kibana, but which one do I use? I have tried POSTing to '/api/v1/_search' but do not get the same response as the devtools console.

Thanks
Arman

Start here:

and then

The basic concept is that you need to send the query to the _search endpoint on Elasticsearch.
In the Cloud console there's a "Copy Endpoint URL" button - you want the one for your Elasticsearch deployment.

Then you can POST your query to https://your.cloud.deployment.url/_search

But I really recommend reading some docs, and/or completing a training course, because there's so much more that it's worth getting familiar with.
