Is there a way to connect onshape to astroprint ?

Hi
I mainly use Chromebook to create my things.
With the excellent onshape, it's a breeze. Thanks for that !
As slicer, I use astroprint...
But the process is repetitive. On onshape, I export the stl ... And on astroprint, I upload it.
I'd like to know if there is a trick/plug-in ... To save/export directly my objects from onshape to astroprint .. it could be really useful.
Btw, if the are rest API, I could help out built it myself.

I'm not aware of a direct connection to astroprint (I use Cura, so I'm not familiar with other slicers). However, you can drag and drop the STL into Cura, so maybe that works with astroprint, too, to save a click or two.
There is a REST API, but I haven't used it yet. Still very much figuring things out! Here's a link to the developer portal:

I have to admit that while I do program things in my free time with Java, Godot, Processing, etc., I have not really gotten into Onshape's API/FeatureScript stuff yet, so I'm afraid I can't help much more than just point you towards these resources at the moment. Hope this helps!
