GitHub Actions get from API to create pull request

Is there a way to tell GitHub to automatically create a pull request from an API providing JSON content and merge it into my project?

I want to:

  1. Edit files on a platform (I control the platform) using my own production editors/tools.
  2. Have GitHub request it (REST), then create a PR or a commit, so people can collaborate on it with forks/GitHub project management.
  3. Push from GitHub back to the platform for publishing.

3 is no problem, but 2 I can't find documentation for if it's even possible.
