Hi all,
I'm trying to export a dashboard we have in Kibana using the API command. I've written a Python script but when I run the command it gives me this error:
```auto
Export failed with status code: 404
{"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found","message":"Not Found"}
```
I pass in the dashboard ID and Credentials as variables, and my Kibana url is running at 5601! Any ideas what could be causing this? Thank you in advance!

Hi @vdashora
You need to show the entire url you are trying to access... 404 Means wrong URL or ID.
Also perhaps try as a `curl` first following the documentation [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/api.html) and don't forget the correct [headers](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/api.html#api-request-headers)
