I know that we can set the timezone in the kibana web by: Setting--\>Advanced---\> DateFormat:tz
However, I need a REST-API way to change that by default Kibana sets the DateFormat to an specific value (not the browser).

You can actually find this REST API way yourself if you open the browser's dev tools, and look at the network request that's sent when you change an Advanced Setting. The exact request you need can be found there. (This is a common question for various advanced settings people want to change via direct kibana request.)
