The RingCentral Connect Platform API is modern in the sense it is RESTful, implements OAuth2, and supports JSON. This enables any application capable of sending HTTP Requests and receiving/processing HTTP Responses can integrate with the RingCentral Connect Platform API.
Unlike *nix-based systems which typically have tools like cURL or wget available, DOS does not have these functionalities by default.
A quick Google for "Windows DOS HTTP Requests" returned this item on StackOverflow which looks promising (depending upon your development requirements):

Following this approach requires having JavaScript experience (I would recommend this using the RingCentral JS SDK to simplify development).

RingCentral supports URLs to activate Softphone and make a call. I.e., if a Softphone is installed on you local machine (Windows or Mac), you can type in a browser "rcmobile://call?number=<number to call>". And it will launch RingCentral for desktop.
Actually it also can be registered to handle standard "callto://<number>" and "tel://number". If it doesn't work by default it can be turned on via "Settings | General | Set as default call and fax application". But it doesn't work with Chrome as far as I can see.
