"set": {
  "data": {
    "34" : {
      "field": "value"
    }
  }

im also not sure how you add new items to the array using the http api. I assume I get the length of the array and append an item with

"index": object

or is there a shorter way?

ahh I got it working finally:

"set": {
  "data": [{
    "_key": "2134",
    "_type": "bar",
    "field": value
  }]
}
