Hi

I am using Kibana 6.8.2. Originally I started using the X-pack (the trail version). It has expired now. I want to take info of an index to export it and analyze data with python. But as the license has expired I do not have the option "reporting".

Is there any other way to take out information of an index?

You can call the scroll API to extract the data you need.

Hi!

Give me more details, please.  
What is the "scroll API"?
