Elasticsearch DSL Query for Update

I understand that I am able to update a particular document by http://localhost:9200/[index_name]/[index_type]/[_id], but I have document where the _id has # symbols which Sense couldn't find them.

Understand that the Query DSL will be able to perform a search where I am able to indicate the _id not in the URL. Resource: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/query-dsl-ids-query.html

Can I check with you, how can I do the same for updating document?

If you don't want to put the ID in the URL, the only option you have is to use the update by query API, like this:

POST index/_update_by_query
{
  "query": {
    "ids": {
      "values": ["2323#23423"]
    }
  },
  "script": {
    "source": "do some update here"
  }
}

Use localhost:9200/index/type/ID%23, %23 for #

So if '_id' is 10, url will look like localhost:9200/index/type/10%23
