I have URI like `../discover#/?_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!t,value:0),time:(from:now%2Fd,to:now%2Fd))&_a=(columns:!(_source),filters:!(),index:{index},interval:auto,query:(language:kuery,query:%27%27),sort:!(!(created_at,desc)))` at Kibana and it returns me `hits total` and hits per every half hour printed at bar graph. If I'm right every bar returns difference between values per half hour. I want to get plain data about it via command line. What API Elasticsearch endpoint I should use to get such data? I've tried to store `${index_name}/_stats/docs` data but it doesn't match with Kibana graph data. Endpoint `/metrics` has been used but it has different from Kibana graph values too. ---

Hi @philyeanaeknss , that is a little bit hard to reproduce in general. To be honest my recommendation here would be to switch to ES|QL mode in Discover, then open the inspector and copy the request made for the visualization in there: at that point you can be 100% sure that the table returned by the ES|QL endpoint is the same used for the bar chart. ---

Hm.. It is possible to copy request body only not its URI. ---

you are quite right. I've opened an issue for it here you can track: [[Inspector] ES|QL Request doesn't show URL in the Request panel · Issue #221581 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/221581) ---

So there's no any other way to find complete URL? ---

The URL is the Elasticsearch ES|QL `/_query` as described here: [Use the ES|QL \_query API | Elastic Docs](https://www.elastic.co/docs/explore-analyze/query-filter/languages/esql-rest) The request body can be used as is against that endpoint to get the visualization table.
