It can be done like this:

    $ curl http://localhost/json.txt
    {"bar": "baz", "balance": 7.77, "active": false}

    $ psql -v jsonval="`curl -s http://localhost/json.txt`" -d
'host=localhost dbname=postgres user=postgres' <<SQL
    INSERT INTO json_test values(:'jsonval')
    SQL

    INSERT 0 1
    Time: 0.374 ms

though TBH if I were doing that on a regular basis, I'd do it via a script which
could cope with errors retrieving the remote file, etc.

If the data source (URL) is constant, you could try something along these lines
with file_fdw:

    CREATE EXTENSION file_fdw;

    CREATE SERVER json_curl FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER file_fdw;
    CREATE FOREIGN TABLE json_src (
      json_data jsonb
    )
    SERVER json_curl
    OPTIONS (
      PROGRAM 'curl -s http://localhost/json.txt'
    );


Better alternatives may be available.
