you can simply use the Update API as

POST <your-index>/_update/<your-doc-id>
{
    "doc": {
        "count": "" // provide the value which you want to update
    }
}

It's not working "error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"invalid_type_name_exception","reason":"Document mapping type name can't start with '_', found: [_update]"}] Elasticsearch version: 6.7.2

@Subo which Elasticsearch version you are using?

@Subo you need to pass _doc in the URL, see elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/… doc for Elasticsearch 6.8
