Bulk Get Objectsedit
This functionality is beta. It’s on track to become a stable, permanent feature of Kibana. Caution should be exercised because it is possible a breaking change to these APIs will occur in a minor version, but we’ll avoid this wherever possible.
The bulk-get saved object API enables you to retrieve multiple Kibana saved objects by id.
Note: You cannot access this endpoint via the Console in Kibana.
Requestedit
POST /api/saved_objects/_bulk_get
Request Bodyedit
The request body must be a JSON array containing objects, each of which contains the following properties:
-
type(required) -
(string) Valid options, include:
visualization,dashboard,search,index-pattern,config, andtimelion-sheet -
id(required) - (string) ID of object to retrieve
-
fields(optional) - (array) The fields to return in the object’s response
Response bodyedit
The response body will have a top level saved_objects property that contains
an array of objects, which represent the response for each of the requested
objects. The order of the objects in the response is identical to the order of
the objects in the request.
For any saved object that could not be found, an error object will exist in its place.
Examplesedit
The following example attempts to retrieve an index pattern with id
my-pattern and a dashboard with id my-dashboard, but only the index pattern
exists.
POST api/saved_objects/_bulk_get
[
{
"type": "index-pattern",
"id": "my-pattern"
},
{
"type": "dashboard",
"id": "my-dashboard"
}
]
A successful call returns a response code of 200 and a response body
containing a JSON structure similar to the following example:
{
"saved_objects": [
{
"id": "my-pattern",
"type": "index-pattern",
"version": 1,
"attributes": {
"title": "my-pattern-*"
}
},
{
"id": "my-dashboard",
"type": "dashboard",
"error": {
"statusCode": 404,
"message": "Not found"
}
}
]
}
