Add Section to Shopify theme programmatically

I have a Shopify app and would like to add it to Shopify as dynamic section programmatically. I know how to do it manually.

Basically i create .liquid file in sections in theme code editor.
Here is short tutorial for adding dynamic sections: https://www.shopify.com/partners/blog/how-to-create-your-first-shopify-theme-section

But i would like to achieve the same result programmatically, i.e via some API call.

Is it possible at all?

    Liquid is a server side rendering language, this means you can not re-render on realtime. but you could render your code and hide it with display: none; and using axios or ajax after calling your API show that section.

    Yes it is possible, but the related API is in preview mode still and is not advised to be used in production environments.

    Caution During the preview phase we will be making changes to the
    sections API based on your feedback. This may cause invalid theme code
    or page data to be present in preview shops. As the API is iterated
    upon, we will clean up existing data and theme code on beta-flagged
    preview shops, which may result in data loss. Changes will be
    communicated and documentation will be updated.

    During the preview phase, the theme editor may not function properly
    on section-enabled pages.

    That being said, have a look at Section Theme Rest API. Specifically, you will need to work with Sections Property.
