Downloading PDF report from kibana/elasticsearch using API call

Question

I am trying to generate PDF reports and download them using a script. I followed below instructions.

https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/docs/user/reporting/automating-report-generation.asciidoc

I am able to queue the report and i also got a download url ()/api/.../download/xyzdrfd but when i am trying wget on the url, It's not working. I have no idea how to download that report using APIs so just tried with wget.

Can anyone tell me how to download the reports from API call?

this is exactly the same as https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69174636/elastic-search-kibana-pdf-report — warkolm, Sep 14 '21 at 22:21

The download might not be happening due to some redirects happening on the page. Use -L option with curl command to get it working. I did it specifically using the Kibana endpoint to download a PDF file. Replace the username and passsword with the basic auth credentials of yours. Use -o option to specify the downloaded file name. Below is the complete example of the command:

curl -L -u username:password -o download.pdf https://endpoint.com:9244/s/bi-/api/reporting/jobs/download/ktl8n95q001edfc210feaz0r
