Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I have shell script to get the status of the elk watcher
curl -k -s -X GET -H "Authorization: AAAAAA https://elastic

If the status is not started I am sending the alerts .

Now I also I want to start the elk watcher. (POST _watcher/_start) which works through dev tool in UI.
How to use this command (POST _watcher/_start) from curl throught the shell script to start watcher when the shell script is run.
