Does edX has API's to add new courses? If no, can we create custom API's to automate this ?

As we know EdX has the EdX studio which provides the UI to add new courses. say if we have like 3k activities which are divided into a number of courses, it is a tedious task to add each one of them manually through EdX studio. If we don't have any API in place can we create these api's on our own. I understand that edx-platform has the django-rest-framework out of the box. It should be possible to create custom API's but I am not sure how complex the model of EdX is as we have a number of functionalities and customizations associated with a course in EdX.
