Product always goes OUT OF STOCK in magento 2 after inserting through REST API

Question

I have added product in my Magento 2 Store using REST API but it always goes out of stock like this.

But when i run php bin/magento indexer:reindex the product will come in stock.

Any idea why is this or i have to run indexer re-index after every insertion of product.

Any help is appriciated.

Reindex implementation is required when the product has not been updated. This implementation has no effect on the functionality of your website You can refer to here: https://community.magento.com/t5/Magento-2-x-Programming/Updating-Stock-Status-Via-REST-API/m-p/449424#M10894
