Restoring indices through a snapshot

Hi all,
i would like to restore the indices from a snapshot by using alias name but not the indexname

POST /_snapshot/xxxxxxx/snapshot_16_02_2018/_restore
{
 "indices": "alias_name",
 "ignore_unavailable": "true",
 "include_global_state": false
}

this is not working because i have given alias name instead of index name in "indices":alias name
how can i restore the data using alias name
