I'm trying to write some code to interact with a database, but I can't figure out how to do HTTP REST requests. I've been suggested to use SteamWorks, but I don't know if that's the correct extension to use. I'm also not sure as to how to specify queries, like ?key=<keyname>.
I'm getting the response as JSON, and I'm not entirely sure how to parse that.

if by HTTP REST you actually mean HTTP POST then the data is sent in the end, and you have to specify the content-length of the data you are sending

something like this:

POST /page HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: host.com\r\n
Content-Length: 9\r\n
\r\n
key=value\r\n

for parsing JSON you could try this include: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=189772

What function would I call to send the POST request?

Is HTTP your only option for this? Might be easier to create your own server and do a basic TCP\UDP transmission.
