# Resolve saved objects

deprecated

- Server: `https://{kibana_url}`

## Paths

- `POST` `/api/saved_objects/_bulk_resolve`
- `POST` `/s/{space_id}/api/saved_objects/_bulk_resolve`

## Description

Refer to [Spaces](https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/manage-spaces) for more information.

Retrieve multiple Kibana saved objects by identifier using any legacy URL aliases if they exist. Under certain circumstances when Kibana is upgraded, saved object migrations may necessitate regenerating some object IDs to enable new features. When an object's ID is regenerated, a legacy URL alias is created for that object, preserving its old ID. In such a scenario, that object can be retrieved by the bulk resolve API using either its new ID or its old ID.

## Authentication

- Api key: `Authorization: <value>`
  These APIs use key-based authentication. You must create an API key and use the encoded value in the request header. For example: `Authorization: ApiKey base64AccessApiKey`
- Basic: `Authorization: Basic <credentials>`

## Header parameters

- `kbn-xsrf` (string) — required
  Cross-site request forgery protection
