{
  "custom_fields": {

    "price_cents": 599,
    "average_customer_rating": 4.5

PUT /v2/indices/{index public key}/documents/

Omit the document id in the URL of the request if you include either a document id or a “url” field in the document content.

{
  "url": "https://www.example.com/",
  "id": "8700a03070a37982924597d6baa87be7",
  "custom_fields": {
    "title": "Example product",
    "description": "Description for example product",
    "price_cents": 599,
    "average_customer_rating": 4.5
  }
}

If the URL does not contain the document id, the id of the document will be resolved to either:

1. “id” field present in the document; or if the “id” is not present the
2. a md5 checksum of the “url” field in the document
