I have installed ELK on my ubuntu VM with Nginx server following this guide [Install ELK on Ubuntu](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elastic-stack-on-ubuntu-18-04).

I'm trying to export my dashbaord using the dashboard api and export saved objects api, however it is giving me `no handler found for uri` error.

Here is what i have tried:

```
GET <vm-ip-address>/api/kibana/dashboards/export?dashboard=b986a390-7a5c-11ea-b521-59fdf02d9ef  

```

Even I have used this but it did not work `POST <kibana host>:<port>/s/<space_id>/api/saved_objects/_export`

Error message:  
{  
"error" : "no handler found for uri [/api/kibana/dashboards/export?dashboard=b986a390-7a5c-11ea-b521-59fdf02d9ef&pretty=true] and method [GET]"  
}

I access kibana generally in this format : `<vm-ip-address>/app/kibana` and `http://localhost:5601/app/kibana` doesnt work because of the way i have installed.

Are you trying to execute these requests from within the dev tools? This is something not supported right now, you need to use a tool outside of Kibana, e.g. curl.
