Studio API Integration without Studio client

Dear Community

We intend to integrate Studio project creation functionality into a 3rd party application, i.e. into a Document Management thick client.

The idea is to e.g. right-click a document in the DMS client and trigger the creation of a project in GroupShare.

This would require Studio Project API functionality, thus the installation of a Studio client on each DMS client, which we would like to avoid.

However, the GroupShare REST API is at this point not powerful enough to support project creation from a 3rd party application.

On the other hand, installing a full Studio license with Project API functionality on each DMS client is not an option either.

Anyone sees any way of getting this done somehow?

Thank you
