How to export and import alerts?

Hello,
I had tried to implement some alerting rule in my dashboard. While I am able to export/import the dashboard from my pc to another using .json format; I have found that the alerting rules are never exported in the .json file. I have to redo all the alerting rules from scratch anytime I want to implement the dashboard again or on any other computer.

My questions are if there is any way that I can also export/import the alerting rules along with the dashboard in the Json file.
Or maybe there are ways to export alerting rules through APIs. I have to find documentation regarding it, but I am unable to find any helpful guide or documentation in this regard.

Is the Grafana Alerts feature being updated or enhanced in any way in the future versions? A roadmap would be very helpful.

Thank You.

have a look, may help you.

I have put off moving to the new alerting system for years due to this lack of features and documentation. I am trying yet again but there has been almost no improvement in this area. e.g. there are references to file provisioning using either YAML or JSON but then not a single JSON example or schema reference.

Do you know if there is a way to import alert rules in Grafana cloud?
I have the rules in JSON or YAML format, exported from previous version of Grafana.

Also when you migrate to Grafana Cloud, there should be a way to import alert rules as well.
