Hello,

I need to ask a question, maybe a little stupid ...

Is it possible to query the kibana web console by http and curl?

Is there a way for this to return the data from the query?

Thanks

Welcome to our community! 😃

It does have an API, yes. What sort of things are you looking to query Kibana for?

Excuse me, let me explain better.

I only have access to the server through port 80. For this reason, I need to be able to query by making the call against the kibana website.

This would return the information in a structured way (xml ...)??

This is not supported so could go away in future versions.

`POST` - `http://localhost:5601/api/console/proxy?path=_search&method=GET`  
`Body` - `{query: {match_all: {}}}`  
`Header` - `kbn-xsrf=true`

Will return JSON.
