Does anyone know how to save a file with a name like '.apirc' from a web browser such as Firefox or Chrome in Windows?

The only way I can see to do it is to save the file with the wrong name from the web browser and then use on of the renaming techniques described in Create/rename a file/folder that begins with a dot in Windows?

However, I'd like to find a one-step way to do it, for our users.

If you know a code solution I have posted a separate version of this question on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54814114/using-the-html-download-attribute-to-download-a-data-url-as-a-file-beginning-wit

When you have the Save File dialog open, make sure you have the Type set to All Files (*.*). When you do this, the filename will end up exactly as you type it, with nothing added. This works on pretty much any Windows Save dialog in most programs that look like this.
