I have installed Kibana and Kibana Canvas Plugin, but i saw that i can create the workpad, pages and add elements in it by using the UI of kibana canvas. How about if i can write the code and create the workpad via script.

Please suggest a solution.

hi @Dhananjaya_Gupta,

there is no publically documented API right now to create a Canvas workpad without using the API. I would submit a feature request in [http://github.com/elastic/kibana/new](http://github.com/elastic/kibana/new)
