curl is just a command line HTTP client. You can use HTTP POST to send
the JSON that you are mentioning below via any means that works for you
- the file does not need to exist on disk - it just needs to be added to
the body of the POST request.
I'd say review how to do HTTP POST requests from your chosen programming
language and you should see how to do this.
