Need Cloud Rendering API for Batch Rendering

We are looking for an API to automate the cloud rendering process to render photo-realistic images of multiple models in a batch mode. We tried using the In-Canvas Rendering command, but the performance is way too slow compared to the cloud rendering option (as it depends on Local machine screen resolution and performance).

Can we get a solution to perform the cloud rendering using APIs?

Also we are looking for customizing the material applied (Reflectance, Roughness, Ambient Occlusion, Bumps, etc ) to the model as well as the other scene settings such as changing the environment, setting proper focus, exposure, etc.

I don't expect there to be a high priority in providing an API for cloud rendering. Except for the minimal ability to access files on the cloud to be able to open and save, the API is restricted to local access to Fusion. Cloud rendering also gets complicated because it's not included with your Fusion license but is an additional cost.

Supporting the local background rendering is probably more likely, but I don't know where it would sit on the priority list.
