C++ API for automating generating encoding tasks from external input

I would like to write a C++ plugin that allows me to generate encoding task via external input, e.g request over network.

Since the extendscript environment in AME does not have access to the Socket class, I have been looking into the Premiere Pro SDK.

Is there a suite that allows me to do this? I was looking into the Export Controller, but it seems to only be triggered via user interaction, and not sure its supported anyway by AME.

Thanks for any help
