Kibana/elastic search - Fetching search data

[rgarg (Romil)]

Kibana version 6.2.2
I am trying to export my dashboard using POST API call from an external server. Is there a way I can achieve that?
The tool only shows me curl command using GET.

Here is what i am want to perform using a POST Call. Need some guidance on this.

curl -XGET "http://Hostname.com:9200/_search" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
"size": 0,
"_source": {
"excludes": []
},
"aggs": {
"6": {
"terms": {
"field": "api_name.keyword",
"size": 2,
"order": {
"7": "desc"
}
},
"aggs": {
"1": {
"avg": {
"field": "time_to_serve_request"
}
},
"2": {
"max": {
"field": "time_to_serve_request"
}

@rgarg If you are exporting then you need GET, if you are importing you need POST. Please clarify what you want to do.

@Ritwik_Sharma I want to export but since I have a big search query, I am not sure how to use that in a GET call. Also, I am aware of the curl command but I want to know if the same functionality can be achieved with a simple rest call instead. For example using SOAP UI or node js rest call.

@rgarg Ohk, I got it. you can do it with requests using a python script. My code is for import but the same functionality can be used for export https://github.com/ritwik12/ELK/blob/master/Kibana.py

@rgarg For Soap and node js rest call I don't have any idea
