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 :

Postman1

You can verify the data as below :

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