Creating scripted field via API

Elastic Stack Kibana

Is it possible to create scripted filed via API PUT command? I want to use that in bash script with curl.

hmm, yea its possible, but kinda tedious:

You basically have to do a PUT to the entire index pattern object, with the scripted field added that you want.Notice how I’ve added two scripted fields at the end of the fields array.

PUT .kibana/doc/index-pattern:dd4f03e0-caf9-11e7-a4b5-a34d320f888c
{
  "type": "index-pattern",
  "updated_at": "2017-11-20T16:08:10.574Z",
  "index-pattern": {
    "title": "finance",
    "timeFieldName": "@timestamp",
    "fields": """[{"name":"@timestamp","type":"date","count":0,"scripted":false,"searchable":true,"aggregatable":true,"readFromDocValues":true},{"name":"_id","type":"string","count":0,"scripted":false,"searchable":true,"aggregatable":true,"readFromDocValues":false},{"name":"_index","type":"string","count":0,"scripted":false,"searchable":true,"aggregatable":true,"readFromDocValues":false},{"name":"_score","type":"number","count":0,"scripted":false,"searchable":false,"aggregatable":false,"readFromDocValues":false},{"name":"_source","type":"_source","count":0,"scripted":false,"searchable":false,"aggregatable":false,"readFromDocValues":false},{"name":"_type","type":"string","count":0,"scripted":false,"searchable":true,"aggregatable":true,"readFromDocValues":false},{"name":"account","type":"string","count":0,"scripted":false,"searchable":true,"aggregatable":true,"readFromDocValues":true},{"name":"account.search","type":"string","count":0,"scripted":false,"searchable":true,"aggregatable":true,"readFromDocValues":false},{"name":"amount","type":"number","count":0,"scripted":false,"searchable":true,"aggregatable":true,"readFromDocValues":true},{"name":"day_of_month","type":"number","count":0,"scripted":false,"searchable":true,"aggregatable":true,"readFromDocValues":true},{"name":"day_of_week","type":"number","count":0,"scripted":false,"searchable":true,"aggregatable":true,"readFromDocValues":true},{"name":"description","type":"string","count":0,"scripted":false,"searchable":true,"aggregatable":true,"readFromDocValues":true},{"name":"description.search","type":"string","count":0,"scripted":false,"searchable":true,"aggregatable":true,"readFromDocValues":false},{"name":"month","type":"number","count":0,"scripted":false,"searchable":true,"aggregatable":true,"readFromDocValues":true},{"name":"year","type":"number","count":0,"scripted":false,"searchable":true,"aggregatable":true,"readFromDocValues":true},{"name":"asdf","type":"number","count":0,"scripted":true,"script":"doc['amount'].value + 1","lang":"painless","searchable":true,"aggregatable":true,"readFromDocValues":false},{"name":"sdfg","type":"number","count":0,"scripted":true,"script":"doc['amount'].value + 2","lang":"painless","searchable":true,"aggregatable":true,"readFromDocValues":false}]"""
