you can use bitcoin core through curl, there are even examples of that in the RPC help

$ bitcoin-cli help getpeerinfo
...
Examples:
> bitcoin-cli getpeerinfo
> curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": "curltest", "method": "getpeerinfo", "params": []}' -H 'content-type: application/json' http://127.0.0.1:8332/
