Hello, everyone  
I have this public URL that I want to show publicly but it has multiple parameters that can be seen in the URL so I wanted to be short .  
I was going through [Shorten URL | Kibana User Guide [6.7] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.7/url-shortening-api-api-shorten-url.html) but can't do it for myself.

[http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx:5601/s/adv\_public/app/dashboards#/view/bc58c7d6-9073-4a25-9767-60f0ce81623f?\_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!t,value:0),time:(from:now-1y%2Fd,to:now)](http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx:5601/s/adv_public/app/dashboards#/view/bc58c7d6-9073-4a25-9767-60f0ce81623f?_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!t,value:0),time:(from:now-1y%2Fd,to:now)))

i am running command:

curl -u xxxxx:xxxxx -X POST "[http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx:5601/api/shorten\_url](http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx:5601/api/shorten_url)"  
-H 'kbn-xsrf: true' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'  
{  
"url": "[http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx:5601/s/adv\_public/app/dashboards#/view/bc58c7d6-9073-4a25-9767-60f0ce81623f?\_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!t,value:0),time:(from:now-1y%2Fd,to:now)](http://xx.xxx.xx.xxx:5601/s/adv_public/app/dashboards#/view/bc58c7d6-9073-4a25-9767-60f0ce81623f?_g=(filters:!(),refreshInterval:(pause:!t,value:0),time:(from:now-1y%2Fd,to:now)))"  
}' -k

getting response:  
{"statusCode":404,"error":"Not Found","message":"Not Found"}

Anyone please help?

Please note that 6.7 is [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) and no longer supported, you should be looking to upgrade as a matter of urgency.

Per that doc page, did you try it without the domain in the `url` parameter?
