There's no officially supported way to interact with scripted fields through any sort of API. The UI is the only official way of creating on.

That said, if you really want to, a workaround is laid out in this thread: [Scripted field with curl](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/scripted-field-with-curl/106837/5)

If you'd like us to consider this feature, please file a [feature request on Github](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new?template=Feature_request.md). We do use community feedback to inform our roadmaps.
