Hey,

I need a button visualization, which sends all current filters and the chosen time range to a backend.  
I already got the button by taking Chris Fischers [kibana-button-vis](https://github.com/chrisfischer/kibana-button-vis).

How can I get the filters and time range from the visualization controller?  
I found this:

```
import FilterBarQueryFilterProvider from 'ui/filter_bar/query_filter';
const queryFilter = Private(FilterBarQueryFilterProvider);
queryFilter.getFilters(); // returns array of **pinned** filters

```

but didn't get it to work, because the **Private** seems to be not accessible in the controller?  
(sorry i know very little about javascript, jquery and angular)

It would be perfect to get the corresponding lucene query.

Thank you so much!

Do you mean something like this?

When you open your visualization, you can select `Inspect` from the top menu. Then `View: Requests` from the top again.

Yeah, that's exactly the information I'm talking about.  
However, I would like to receive it for further processing in the code of the controller.  
Is there a way to do this?  
Any Javascript method to receive this?  
Thanks for your support!
