Google Actions Project REST API?

I am building a Google Actions integration and would like to automate some of the steps like creating and updating a Google Actions project. So far, the only way I see is to use the gactions CLI, as described in the Google Actions Documentation. Is there an API which I can use as a replacement for the CLI tool?

I was able to sniff the communication between Google and the actions cli. Here is the curl request which you can use. Don't forget to add your Bearer (authorization) and after --data-binary you will include your actions.json. The last thing is, to change the endpoint URL at the end with your action id (replace testskill).

curl 
-H 'Host: actions.googleapis.com' 
-H 'content-type: application/json' 
-H 'authorization: Bearer AuthorisationKeyAsRandomStrings' 
-H 'user-agent: Gactions-CLI/2.2.4 (darwin; amd64; dev/NsZwRCulTKhlPxMfp)' 
--data-binary '{"localizedActionPackages":{"de":{"actions":[{"description":"Default welcome intent","fulfillment":{"conversationName":"testskill"},"intent":{"name":"actions.intent.MAIN","trigger":{"queryPatterns":["sprechen mit test skill"]}},"name":"MAIN"}],"conversations":{"testskill":{"name":"testskill","url":"https://ae8e6xx.ngrok.io/testskill"}},"locale":"de"}},"name":"agents/testskill"}' 
--compressed 'https://actions.googleapis.com/v2/agents/testskill:batchUpdateAllDraftActionPackages'

But there is no guarantee, that this will work in the future because Google can change the endpoint without notifying anybody. So I recommend to stick with actions cli.

The APIs which are used by the gactions binary are not publicly accessible. It does make it somewhat challenging to automate its capabilities at the moment.
