Hello, I would like to get two dashboards... each dashboard has multiple visualizations and well I want to get some of those visualizations...

Using API (version 5.6), I could get the dashsboards:

```
curl -XGET localhost:5601/api/kibana/dashboards/export?dashboard=andc-KVStoreBoard1 -H 'kbn-xsrf: true' > andcDataStore.json

curl -XGET localhost:5601/api/kibana/dashboards/export?dashboard=andc-ProxyBoard1 -H 'kbn-xsrf: true' > andcProxy.json

```

and checking an extract of one of those json files, This is the output...:

I just want to get some of those visualizations... not all of them... so this is the doubt:

**How I could create a curl line to get some visualizations from a specific dashboard?**

Thanks!

You can use the saved object API to get visualizations by id. 5.6 does not have any documentation on the saved object API but its there [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/5.6/src/server/saved\_objects/routes/get.js#L4](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/5.6/src/server/saved_objects/routes/get.js#L4). You can look at the [current saved object API documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.x/saved-objects-api.html) but things may have changed so you may be better off just looking at the source for how the API works
