You need to insert the JSON document inside the request Body and make sure to specify the Content-Type request header with the application/json value. — Val

Use the PUT method for the same.

The url would be "http://localhost:9200/movies/"

movies is the name of the index.

The json to post is :

{
"id" : 1,
"title" : "Toy Story 1",
"year" : 1995,
"category" : "Adventure"
}

Here is the screenshot of the postman pushing the data to elasticseach :

You can verify the data as below :

Use the GET method and the url as http://localhost:9200/movies/_search?

@L.Kvri, you can write a scheduler or batch job for processing this.
