Unsupported and undocumented, but there is an endpoint here: https://localhost:8489/services/search/distributed/peers, and here: https://localhost:8489/servicesNS/admin/-/search/distributed/peers

In general, you could go via the Splunk Manager UI to the admin page that lists out the items you're looking for, and see what URLs get hit in the splunkd_access.log file.

If you are running Splunk 4.3 or higher, you can rely on the rest search command to obtain this list:

| rest /services/server/info | table splunk_server

Note that the following search will list all peers responding to distributed search but also the local search-head.
