Hi,

I'm looking to dump all my json docs to an s3 bucket in raw json format from kibana as part of a json script. I've read that a snapshot doesn't allow you to manipulate the json for other purposes.

Thanks,  
Claire

Not sure what does that mean? ^

You can use saved objects UI to export searches/dashboards/visualizations/index patterns into a JSON.

Does that help?

Thanks,

I have the exported search JSON object, but I want to pull the data from that object locally to manipulate using a python script or http call, how would I achieve this?

You can use saved objects api?

Does that help?

{"statusCode":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"child "attributes" fails because ["attributes" is required]. "objects" is not allowed","validation":{"source":"payload","keys":["attributes","objects"]} I got this error.

curl -X POST "_location_/api/saved\_objects/\_export" -H 'kbn-xsrf: true' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'  
{  
"objects": "_index-id_"  
}
