I just had this SAME issue exactly.
I was looking at the documentation for the wrong version and there is a slight syntax difference. Looks like you need to wrap the script and specify inline for the version if yours is similar version as mine.

curl -XPOST 'localhost:9200/scraped_links/_update_by_query' -d '{
	"script": {
		"inline":"ctx._source.scraped_data = 0"
	},
	"query": {
		"term": {
			"scraped_data": 1
		}
	}
}'
