Hi F, Yes, the https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Transfer-Protocols are the ones that could be considered as an API. Though it maybe worth simply running Git locally so that you don't need to write any code..just a few scripts.
Other options are looking at Git Bundle, which is normally used for sneakernet environments but can be used as a fake CDN (Content Delivery Network). Have a look over the archives https://public-inbox.org/git/?q=CDN for various discussions.
