How to make index-time field extraction work for REST API receiver input?

I have INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = json and TIMESTAMP_FIELDS = my_timestamp_field in [my_json_type] stanza. This works when I upload a file and select my_json_type as source type. But when I post the exact same data via REST API's receiver endpoint, no field extraction happens. (Both datasets returned by search sourcetype=my_json_type.) How can I make this work for both file upload and REST API?
