Hi,
i am trying to use a script to generate reports in CSV and i am following the steps as written in the documentation [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.10/automating-report-generation.html)
When i try to run a curl command i am getting error like this:
> {"error":"Incorrect HTTP method for uri [/] and method [POST], allowed: [DELETE, GET, HEAD]","status":405}
Curl commnad is:
> curl -XPOST "hostname:9200" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
> [http://0.0.0.0:5601/api/reporting/generate/csv?jobParams=](http://0.0.0.0:5601/api/reporting/generate/csv?jobParams=)...
> '
Am i missing something or what is the problem?
Thanks

Hi @thirty2. I think your Curl command is malformed. You are passing the report generation URL after the `-d` flag. The URL should be passed where you have `hostname:9200`.

So the official documentation is wrong too?
This is **Copy as curl**
```auto
curl -X POST "localhost:9200/\?pretty" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
-u elastic \
-H \u0027kbn-xsrf: true\u0027 \
\u0027http://0.0.0.0:5601/api/reporting/generate/csv?jobParams=...\u0027
'
```
from [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.10/automating-report-generation.html) and there is the report generation URL after `-d` flag too.

It is working with curl like this:
`curl -XPOST -u yourUser-H 'kbn-xsrf: true ' 'http://0.0.0.0:5601/api/reporting/generate/csv?jobParams=...'`

Thanks for reporting, this is definitely a bug. I've [created a pull request](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/141971) to fix the docs.
