Normally, you have two ways as we practiced.

a) IP:9200/.kibana/doc/\<doc\_type\>  
b) IP:5601/api/saved\_objects/\<doc\_type\>

You may have issues to create index pattern when option A. However it is not supported for option B in lower version of Elastic stack like 5.2.

I did not have a sample yet, but I am able to give you some ideas.

a) Python module: requests  
b) With open to loop directory/files in different types  
c) Http headers: X-Pack/Kibana API/etc
