Hi, I'm trying to add an index pattern for a particular space.  
I tried using the provided API, described here:

> **[Create index pattern API | Kibana Guide \[master\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/index-patterns-api-create.html)**
>
> Conceptual and step-by-step procedures for using runtime fields, scripted fields, and field formatters.

```auto
POST <kibana host>:<port>/s/<space_id>/api/index_patterns/index_pattern

```

But, I keep getting 404 response.  
Note: I also tried using the new suggested data\_view API -

```auto
POST <kibana host>:<port>/s/<space_id>/api/data_views/data_view

```

But got the same result (404).

I have managed to workaround this problem by creating an index pattern for the default space and then copying it from there to my other defined space using shared\_objects copy API, however this is not my preferred way for doing this and I prefer the official way.

Thanks in advance for the help!

A quick update, this was my mistake - I have mistakenly did not include the 'api' keyword in the API and thus it did not work.  
I can now confirm that everything works well now. Here's an example for everyone in need:

```auto
localhost:5601/logs/s/default/api/index_patterns/index_pattern

```

with body:

```auto
{
  "index_pattern": {
     "title": "testing"
  }
}

```
