Steam client API to add non-steam games?

I wanted to automate adding some non-steam games to my library on Steam Deck, similar to how EmuDeck can automatically add things to your library, but I was having a hard time finding how this works. Is there like a steam client API I can use? Or is there a different way of doing this by editing some file steam reads from to get the non-steam games?

  • So it turns out there is https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD.
