ACCESSING/CONTROLLING ONSHAPE FROM AN EXTERNAL PROGRAM (Python script for instance)

Hello,
Is it possible to access Onshape through an external program, perhaps something written in python?
I am working on a FeatureScript that generates a solid from a .csv file with vertex data.
My goal would be to automate the whole process by having a python script;
1 - generate/update the .csv file (independent from Onshape)
2 - access Onshape
3 - execute custom FeatureScript
4 - export solid model (in a given format, .STL or .STEP for instance)
Thank you!
