ExtendScript for Audition: is there an API reference?

Working with Permiere CEP + ExtendScript, my go-to reference was the the Premiere Pro Scripting Guide. I couldn't find anything similar for Audition, except for some examples in the Adobe CEP repository on GitHub (in the Audition folder).  Where can I find an API reference for Adobe Audition's ExtendScript?

The best resource for browsing the API and Commandset are probably two extensions from https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/tree/master/Audition: Script Dictionary and Application Commands. Once installed, you can launch these while Audition is open and it will populate with whatever objects and commands are available for scripting in the application.

@_durin_ the extensions you suggested seem exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks a lot!

The only other page we have any knowledge of at all, you've probably already seen - https://developer.adobe.com/audition/

 

We generally don't discuss this here, as mostly we're users, not coders.

Thank you @SteveG_AudioMasters_  for the link, that's where my research started back then: it still points to the Adobe CEP repository I mentioned above. Is there a place to ask programming questions specifically for Audition?

No, not really - it's far too niche. The only place that I can think of that you might get some more help from is Adobe's Coding Corner forum.
