Yes, Elasticsearch provides REST API which allows user to manage and query indexed data. These APIs contains Document API, Search API, Indices API, cat API and Cluster API. You can use curl command to post request to Elasticsearch, for example:  
PUT twitter/\_doc/1  
{  
"user" : "kimchy",  
"post\_date" : "2009-11-15T14:12:12",  
"message" : "trying out Elasticsearch"  
}  
Moreover, Elastic provides diffrent clients for different languages: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/index.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/index.html)
