Hi, i am trying to download (export) a dashboard with (references), to import that dashboard into a new created Elasticsearch instance. I've got the api correct to export and then to import! But now i try to find the ID of the dashboard based on the Title of the dashboard. So i would like to list down the saved objects with title, and id. So i am able to select which dashboard to download(export) en lateron import these into a new elasticsearch cluster. Info: i am trying to define a predefined dashboard for a data engineering project, which i would like to deploy on multiple instances of elastic.

Hi @anton99 Welcome to the community

Use the Saved Object `_find` API

> **[Search for saved objects | Kibana API documentation (v8)](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/kibana/v8/operation/operation-findsavedobjects)**
>
> The Kibana REST APIs enable you to manage resources such as connectors, data views, and saved objects.
> The API calls are stateless.

```auto
GET kbn:/api/saved_objects/_find?type=dashboard&filter=dashboard.attributes.title:"[Metrics Istio] Traffic"

```

I was trying to use only non Deprecated API calls. what will be the new one . or can i assume this \_find api key will stay at least more than a year ?

Hi @anton99 unfortunately this API is near the end of its lifecycle but it will be supported for all of 8.x (which is quite some time see [EOL Policy](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol)) they APIs for dashboards are changing in 9.x.
