I am using Elastic stack version 6.2 with xPack and want to know what api calls I need to make to export and import the custom kibana dashboards that have been created.

Kind Regards

Hello,  
You can use both methods described in this post:

> [@Kibana import/export dashboard api](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-import-export-dashboard-api/108180/4):
>
> Hi @tsullivan93, Unfortunately, I don't think there any official docs for that feature yet. The PR description talks about both endpoints with some degree of specificity and there might be comments in the PR that detail them more. If you have any specific questions about it, I can try and help with that too. Thanks, Chris
