Saved Kibana objects are just elasticsearch documents, so you could potentially just send curl requests to elasticsearch. Be careful though, if you send the request before kibana creates the `.kibana` index it might create an index with the wrong mapping (by using the elasticsearch defaults). [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/10967](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/10967) is working to add a saved object api to kibana so you would be able to create saved objects (like dashboards) via a Kibana API ---
