cURL is accesible via command line and Bridge scripting. However, its a PITA. I have cobbled together a way to use Windows Scripting Host and Powershell on Windows to run command line scripts without showing the command window. This is sample code, use at your own risk.

Utility Pack Scripts created by David M. Converse ©2018-21
This script is a sample include file for scripters that contains a
template function to run command line actions in Windows
without the command line window showing. This function takes
either a native Powershell function or command prompt code,
writes it into a vbs file, and executes the vbs file to launch Powershell.
Syntax is critical, note all of the escaped characters!

PS Example to create a zip file:
(requires Powershell 5 or later)
//list of files to compress
var inputName = '\'C:\\Users\\test\\Desktop\\foo.txt\', \'C:\\Users\\test\\Desktop\\bar.txt\'';
//name of zip archive
var archName = '\'C:\\Users\\test\\Desktop\\archive.zip\'';
//assembled command
var psParam = 'Compress-Archive -LiteralPath '+ inputName +' -DestinationPath ' + archName;
//send command to function
