Deprecated
This API is deprecated. This is a legacy Saved Objects API and may be removed in a future version of Kibana.
Retrieve multiple Kibana saved objects by ID, 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 with the bulk resolve API using either its new ID or its old ID.

string optional
An identifier for the space. If space_id is not provided in the URL, the default space is used. Refer to Spaces for more information.
