      The Kibana REST API enables programmatic management of Kibana resources
      including spaces, saved objects, dashboards, data views, connectors,
      rules, and configuration. The API is stateless and uses standard HTTP
      verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) returning JSON responses, making it well
      suited for automation, CI/CD pipelines, and integrating Kibana with
      external systems.
