and access the API via a browser directly

Now it's time to add documents. Documents need to be JSON, NDJSON (json on one line), or CSV

https://docs.meilisearch.com/learn/core_concepts/documents.html#primary-field

https://docs.meilisearch.com/learn/getting_started/quick_start.html#add-documents

curl \
  -X POST 'http://localhost:7700/indexes/movies/documents' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-binary @movies.json
curl \
  -X POST 'http://localhost:7700/indexes/movies/documents' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data-binary @movies.json

The data being sent should be a list of objects (even if it's a list of one object)

Add in the API key:

curl -X POST 'http://localhost:7700/indexes/movies/documents' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer MAIN_KEY' --data-binary @/home/account/Downloads/movies.json
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:7700/indexes/movies/documents' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer MAIN_KEY' --data-binary @/home/account/Downloads/movies.json
