Hello,

I have many search objects at Kibana.  
Is any API to get request string? just set up server info/ object name, and output is request string.  
Is any API there? (to get discover-\>inspect-\>request string)

Hi @Frank_Kuo, there is no such APIs.

Theoretically you could use Kibana source and build a custom plugin which would using Kibana's services output resulting requests, but I not sure that would be less effort then using `discover->inspect->request string` manually or automating it
