Is it possible to leave notes by using the API?

When I need local mapper help I've noticed, that nobody cares for my FIXMEs, but that notes instead are quickly fixed. So I would like to write a JOSM tool which converts my FIXMEs into notes.

Just for curiosity: Can I create an anonymous note by using the API like it's possible for anonymous users on the OSM webpage?

curl -X POST https://apis.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/notes?lat=52.51861&lon=113.40833&text=ExampleNote

For the benefit of future readers: JOSM has a built-in dialog for creating and updating OSM notes. It doesn't convert FIXMEs, but is still convenient for many typical use-cases.

In the wikipage you link to, there's a link to the Map_Notes_API.
