Hi @mhr,

What request did you try so far?  
Did you check [official documentation for import API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/master/saved-objects-api-import.html)?

Regards, Dzmitry

I tried using the .ndjson content from the file directly in the request body (payload) with the parameter -d, the same way that indices are created and can be used by copying the content from a file into the request body. I used the header

`-H "Content-Type: application/x-ndjson"`  
too but it returns

`{"statusCode":415,"error":"Unsupported Media Type","message":"Unsupported Media Type"}`

Is it possible to send saved object directly and not from file? The command:

`curl -u username:password -XPOST "http://localhost:5601/api/saved_objects/_import?overwrite=true" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H 'kbn-xsrf: true' -H 'securitytenant: Global' -d '{"type":"index-pattern","id":"my-pattern","attributes":{"title":"my-pattern-*"}}' `
