ElasticSearch _find method to get saved objects returning "not handler found for URI [/s/<sp-CodePudding

I am experimenting in Python to retrieve the saved searches in my space in Kibana.

I am trying to follow the example at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/saved-objects-api-find.html

Here is my code.

    r = requests.get('http://myhost.com:9200/s/guy-levin/api/saved_objects/_find?type=search',
                     auth=(username, password))
    print(r.status_code)
    print(r.text)
    print(r.json())

I get the output:

400
{"error":"no handler found for uri [/s/guy-levin/api/saved_objects/_find?type=search] and method [GET]"}
{'error': 'no handler found for uri [/s/guy-levin/api/saved_objects/_find?type=search] and method [GET]'}

I also tried es.search(), but if I try es.search(doc_type='search') [not even sure if this is right; Internet searches not helpful thus far], I get a stack trace ending with:

elasticsearch.exceptions.AuthorizationException: AuthorizationException(403, 'security_exception', 'action [indices:data/read/search] is unauthorized for user [some_user_name]')

Changing port to 5601, I got this stack trace:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

CodePudding user response：

The Saved Object API is a Kibana API, so you need to target the Kibana endpoint (port 5601 by default), not the Elasticsearch endpoint (port 9200 by default).

The right URL should be

 http://myhost.com:5601/s/guy-levin/api/saved_objects/_find?type=search
                    ^
                    |
               change this
