I need to get the list of all visualizations present in kibana. Is there a curl command to do that?

For example,  
curl -v [http://localhost:9200/.kibana/visualisation](http://localhost:9200/.kibana/visualisation)

`/.kibana/visualization/_search` should do it

Where do i find documentation on these API's?

I am starting to use the API extensively to create bulk visualizations , search for all visualizations with a particular title pattern and add them to dashboard. It would be useful to get pointers to some documentation so i can optimize my queries accordingly.

The response to /.kibana/visualization/\_search wasnt complete. It said the total visualizations were 36 but it displayed data for only 10 visualizations.  
There are actual 36 visualizations in the system. I am not sure why it did not list all the 36. Any pointers?

Add the size to the end like this;

`/.kibana/visualization/_search?size=40`

of course, it was the size.. I tried limit, offset but not size. My bad. Is there documentation for these?

Thanks.

I think this would be the best starting point;
