This doesn't look like valid json. First of all, it starts with a `[`. Check your file e.g. with [https://jsonlint.com/](https://jsonlint.com/) that it is valid first. Second: you seem to try to put several documents at once. This is only possible using the `_bulk` endpoint, which follows a [specific bulk format](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docs-bulk.html).
