In Firebase Console I set up audiences based on various user properties and now am able to send notifications to different user segments via console. Is there a way to do the same by http requests to fcm servers? There should be a trick with "to" field, but I couldn't figure it out.

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) provides a reliable and battery-efficient connection between your server and devices that allows you to deliver and receive messages and notifications on iOS, Android, and the web at no cost.
It's definitely possible -- you don't have to use Firebase to deliver push notifications. You can roll out your own notification solution or consider a paid product such as Pushy (pushy.me) which does not rely on Firebase Cloud Messaging. Full disclosure - I am the Founder & CEO at Pushy.

There is currently no way to send a notification to a user segment programmatically. It can only be done from the Firebase Console as you've found.
We're aware that allowing this through an API would expand the potential for Firebase Notifications a lot. So we're considering adding it to the API. But as usual: no commitment and no timelines, since those tend to change as priorities shift.

This has been a popular request, but unfortunately it is not yet possible. We are looking into this. Please check Firebase Cloud Messaging announcements for any updates in the future.
